The big idea
You might see a video of your favorite celeb saying something shocking. Most of these are AI fakes! Sharing them spreads lies and can hurt the real person.
Some examples
- Fake videos of singers 'announcing' they're quitting.
- Fake clips of athletes 'insulting' a team.
- Fake videos of presidents 'making' surprising announcements.
- Always check the celeb's REAL social account before believing.
Try it!
Next time you see a wild celeb clip, search 'is this real?' before sharing. Practice the pause!
