Scams are flourishing on the Internet as Christmas approaches. Some sites use artificial intelligence to give a misleading appearance to the products they sell.
At Christmas, how to avoid scams on the Internet? Lyvia Ghymans bought a jacket online for 38 euros. When she received it, she realized that it did not have at all the same material and the same quality as on the Internet. After complaining, the site offered him compensation of eight euros. It is very simple to create visuals using artificial intelligence, as shown by Nicolas Lellouche, tech section manager at Numerama. We can even ask artificial intelligence to create an image of a human wearing clothing, in order to make people believe that the clothing exists.
Beware of sponsored advertisements on networks
Artificial intelligence can create an infinite number of products, including Christmas decorations. A site sells a rooster that appears in 3 dimensions. But in reality, when you receive it, it is simply printed flat, far from the design offered on the Internet. According to Jérôme Notin, general director of Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, you must exercise caution when choosing the site on which you buy products, favoring known platforms. Also be careful with sponsored advertisements on social networks, which are often poorly controlled by the platforms.
