AI is tricking people into traveling to places that don't exist, and we all need to learn to avoid these scams

A couple journeyed to ride the Kuak Skyride, a cable car they saw in an online video, only to find it didn't exist - it was AI-generated using Google's Veo 3. This incident underscores the difficulty of discerning real from AI-created content online. As AI advances, consumers must develop new verification skills, such as cross-checking sources and scrutinizing images. The era of trusting online content is ending, necessitating increased caution when planning trips or making purchases based on digital media.
