00:00Is she real or is she an AI bot?
00:02It's fake, man. That's AI, man. That's AI.
00:05That's real.
00:06Oh my... Yo, whoever this is, I'm Dom. I'm from New York, if you wanna...
00:11You know what I mean?
00:12Can you tell the difference between a real-life influencer
00:15and one that's cooked up entirely by AI?
00:18We're here in Times Square to find out whether everyday people
00:21can tell the difference between a real influencer and an AI influencer.
00:25Let's find out.
00:26So, for example, this is the same person, right?
00:28I'm gonna show you six.
00:29So, is she real or is she a bot? Is she real or is she a bot?
00:32You know what I mean?
00:33Okay, I got you. You ready?
00:34I'm ready. I went to art school, so I think I'll be really good at it.
00:37Okay, number one. Is she real or is she AI?
00:40Looks like that might be AI.
00:41Okay, that's an AI bot.
00:43I think it's AI.
00:44AI?
00:45What makes you think she's AI?
00:47I think maybe like the filter that's on it.
00:49Something about her face, you know, that it's not a typical face.
00:53Real.
00:54Doing this. You're right, she's real.
00:56She's real.
00:57She's real. You're right.
00:58Okay.
00:59Number two. Is this real or an AI bot?
01:01Definitely real. This looks real.
01:03I think she's real.
01:04Look, like AI.
01:05Her outfit looks like it's plastered to her a little bit.
01:08The hair coloring and the tan and all that stuff.
01:11That looks real to me.
01:12She's an AI bot.
01:13I'm afraid you're gonna make me look like an idiot out here today.
01:16Hmm, real.
01:18She's fake.
01:19What? I don't wanna see, you know, fake things.
01:21Look at the advances. Look how good it's getting.
01:23I know. It's insane.
01:25The lighting, the facial features, it's perfect.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Yeah.
01:31She actually looks more real than the other one.
01:32She looks more real than real?
01:33Yeah.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Does that worry you at all?
01:36Yeah. Honestly, yeah.
01:37Because I'm probably looking at AI all the time.
01:38And you don't even realize that, right?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Two out of two. You're doing good.
01:41Number three.
01:42Is it a real Instagram model or an AI robot?
01:46I think real on this one.
01:47I think it's real.
01:49This is AI.
01:50I hope that she's real.
01:54Oh, that could be a filter, though.
01:56Oh.
01:58The picture looks fake.
02:00Man, it's real.
02:01It's real.
02:02It's fake, man.
02:03That's AI, man.
02:04That's AI.
02:05That's real.
02:06Oh, my.
02:07Yo, whoever this is, I'm Dom.
02:09I'm from New York.
02:10If you want to, you know what I mean?
02:12Real or fake?
02:13This is a tough one.
02:14I'd say that's real.
02:15I'd say that's fake.
02:16You think that's fake?
02:17Yeah.
02:18I think it's real.
02:19AI?
02:20This is definitely AI.
02:21The hair looks a little funky a little bit.
02:24This is real.
02:25She's real.
02:26Correct.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Man, she look good, though.
02:29Sorry, baby, if you're watching it.
02:30I mean, I thought it was because of her abs.
02:31I thought they were AI.
02:32Her abs.
02:33Her abs are too perfect.
02:34They didn't.
02:35Okay.
02:36Number five.
02:37This is definitely AI.
02:38So it's more like a sim, right?
02:39Yeah.
02:40This looks like what you'd see in, like, an Instagram ad.
02:43Oh, she's AI, definitely.
02:44They're seeing videos on TikTok, like, at AI, and I can kind of spot the difference.
02:48Just where I like the lighting on the face and, like, it just doesn't look real.
02:51I'm going to say AI.
02:52She's AI.
02:53Yeah, you're right.
02:54It almost looks like she looked too good to be true.
02:56This is the last one.
02:57It stumps everybody.
02:58You're five out of five.
02:59Is she real or is she an AI bot?
03:02Uh, real.
03:03See the naked cowboy can figure it out.
03:04Real.
03:05I'm in love with her.
03:06To Spain.
03:07She should come to Spain.
03:08Definitely.
03:09Yeah.
03:10I hope it will be real.
03:11She's beautiful.
03:12But she's not real.
03:13But she's fake.
03:14She's real.
03:15She's fake.
03:16She's fake.
03:17Oh, okay.
03:18Wow.
03:19This looks real, yeah.
03:20This guy is tricking everybody.
03:21What makes her look so real, do you think?
03:23Yeah.
03:24It's this picture here.
03:25Yeah.
03:26The technology is getting good, right?
03:27They're almost headed.
03:28Nah, we got to stop that AI .
03:29We got to stop that, man.
03:31This is the fake AI bots account on Instagram.
03:34There's not even a real person behind this.
03:36Yeah.
03:37There's 165k.
03:38I have over 93,000 Instagram followers.
03:40Okay.
03:41Over 700k.
03:42Mia Zalou has 165,000 followers.
03:44Woo!
03:45But she's fake.
03:46How do you feel about that?
03:47How do you feel about a fake influencer having more followers?
03:49Having more followers than a real influencer?
03:51Ah, so it depends on who's doing the background work of it.
03:55If it's not used for anything good, then it could be bad.
03:58Okay.
03:59Does that make you worried at all that your daughter is scrolling and seeing things that are real?
04:02Yeah.
04:03At the gate, I know that this is going to happen.
04:05You have to be very careful what you see in the screen.
04:08Would you ever follow somebody that's an AI bot?
04:11Not yet.
04:12I'm pretty sure I will be, yeah.
04:14odie court.
04:15Yeah.
04:17Yeah.
04:19Yeah, where are you?
04:20Thank you, eh?
