🧠 Curiosity Corner

AI Pranks & Cyber Warfare

Here’s an AI image prank that’s going viral on social media.

It’s silly and mostly harmless: women are fooling their boyfriends with an AI-generated shirtless maintenance man in the house.

The long-term problem is that it’s very believable. What happens when people start generating really harmful content with AI?

The Scholar’s Stage blog had a really prescient writeup about this in 2018 called “What Cyber-War Will Look Like”, describing a horrid AI deepfake of Marines committing a war crime:

The video was vivid, the girls’ cries heart-wrenching, the cheers of Marines sickening. And all of it fake. The National Security Agency’s initial analysis of the video had uncovered digital fingerprints showing that it was a computer-assisted lie, and could prove that the Marine’s account under which it had been posted was hacked. But the damage had been done.

Mark Cancian, quoted by Scholar’s Stage

The blog goes on to describe how AI fakes could be used to convince military members they have cancer, fake officers’ browsing history on lewd sites, and more, culminating in an operational pause where the military stands down to sort everything out. This obviously is a prelude to war.

Fortunately, Scholar’s Stage indicates that such cyber attacks can be mitigated via personal responsibility and suggests this podcast as an actionable way to learn security and privacy tactics.

Other than that, I’m not sure what we can do, but I am worried. What do you think about this?
