The advancement of technology has given birth to remarkable innovations, but it has also birthed a sinister transformation: deep fakes. These hyper-realistic alterations of video, audio, and images generated through artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping the landscape of information, entertainment, and even politics. As we delve into the threats posed by deep fakes, it is crucial to understand their implications on the entertainment industry, everyday life, and political systems, along with methods to identify them.

A woman runs down an alleyway, a huge explosion behind her.......... As you can see, that is a pretty boring image for my first attempt at a prompt, and absolutely not what I had in my mind!

While many may see AI as a purely technical tool, I view it as an extension of my creative voice, allowing me to explore both self-representation and conceptual artistry in ways I couldn’t before. Here’s why I choose to use my own self-image in AI image creations and how my background as a writer enhances this process.
