Elders Struggle to Spot AI-Generated Images on Facebook, Highlighting Need for Tech Literacy
- Elderly Facebook users seem unable to discern AI-generated images from real ones, praising the fake pictures in comments
- Investment partner Justine Moore posted examples of elders engaging with fake AI images, not noticing they weren't real
- Adding "AI" tags to images didn't deter elders from commenting positively on the fake pictures
- Elders are the least tech-savvy age group, so lack awareness of AI's capabilities to create believable fake imagery
- While elders' tech usage is increasing, their relatively inferior computer literacy means AI education is important
