Fake movies competing with real movies for attention online


I used to rely on suggestions from social media for new movies to watch, but lately X, formerly known as Twitter, has been awash in posts promoting fake movies using AI-created posters and photos.
At first glance, some look compelling. But you soon realize that you’ve been duped. Others with A-list actors are obvious fakes.
The situation is as bad as the numerous online photos of sexy women at FIFA games that turned out to be AI frauds.
Some of these phony movies are fan fiction or wishful thinking as far as casting. But the people who post them don’t usually say that and present them as if they are real. They likely post them to generate user engagement through clickbait.
The worst offender is an account called Movies House (@luther_181). I have muted them and suggest you do too. In fact, I mute all accounts that post this garbage.
