Recently, on Instagram A video of a "secret restaurant in Sicily that the locals keep as the biggest mystery" appeared on the website of a travel agency, accompanied by the question "would you like to visit this restaurant?"
Well, of course, how could you not. The restaurant in the video looks like Poseidon himself is dining in it with all the nymphs, and the chairs and tables are floating on the water.
However, he does not exist at all! She generated the video artificial intelligence.
More and more faithfully
In the comments, people en masse ask where he is, even those who live in Sicily and have never heard of him. Only a few comments warn what is actually going on.
Every year, dozens and even hundreds of programs and tools based on artificial intelligence are released, which generate different types of content.
It started with the generation of photos that could be seen from the plane as not real, and it got to the point where even the videos could look very real - so much so that it is difficult to judge at first glance whether they are real or not.
This video certainly isn't that good, primarily because AI often generates content that's pretty fairy-tale-like, but it's believable enough for people who aren't paying too much attention.
Whether someone posted it intentionally as a "bait", or whether the creator of the post himself did not know that it was artificially generated content, is irrelevant - the essence is the same.
You have to be careful, because even the wisest locals will not be able to tell you the location of this restaurant.
