AI-generated videos of Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor went viral, and far too many people believed them without question.

Transcript

00:00Videos and photos of Devika Bhadukon, Shraddha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, kissing, drinking, smoking,

00:07going viral everywhere. Before you react, pause because none of this is real. It's AI-generated

00:13content obviously. And here's the real problem, people cannot tell the difference anymore. These

00:17clips look real, feel real and that's enough for many to believe them. Women already live

00:22under constant online scrutiny, what they wear, how they behave, how they speak, what they post.

00:27Now AI has added another layer. Fake actions, fake moments, slapped onto real women without consent.

00:33And honestly, the worst part is not even the AI, the worst part is people believing it. Followed

00:37by instant outrage, instant moral policing, comments about character, values, sanskar,

00:43role models, people behind screens acting like judge, jury and executioner over something that never

00:47even happened. A fake clip drops and within minutes, reputations are on trial. Now ask yourself,

00:53while this is happening, what are the people running these platforms doing? Some are busy

00:56picking up new hobbies, some are busy reinventing themselves publicly, some are busy putting their

01:01personal lives on display. Meanwhile, the platforms they control are flooded with fake content,

01:05misinformation and harassment. And no one seems in a hurry to clean it up. Because outrage travels fast

01:11and outrage makes money. And before anyone says this is only about women, it's not. Men are being

01:15targeted as well. We saw it earlier with Sameer Reina and Ori. AI does not discriminate, you see,

01:19it goes after visibility. AI is powerful and for god's sake, the next time something shocking pops up on your

01:24feed. Stop for a second and ask yourself, is this real or am I being played? I'm Ineshi Dikari,

01:29thank you for watching, first things fast.
