The AI, where people are now using just prompts to create realistic synthesized images and that too for free, showed its dangerous outcome this time on the stock market. A, Russian-owned state media account, that took advantage of the Twitter paid-to-verify blue tick system, posted an allegedly AI-generated) photo of a (fake) story about an explosion at the Pentagon, looking at first glance like a legit Bloomberg news feed. Since the post, other news agencies came out to confirm that the image is AI generated, but the impact has already taken place by causing the stock market to dip for a significant amount of time.
This incident just showed yet again, how quickly one will be able to spread convincing misinformation and manipulate the masses across the world. Twitter has banned the account, but I think the purpose has been solved by the perpetrators.
