- Disinformation researchers have long used reverse image searches to catch propagandists who steal photos of other people. In response, disinformants evolved.
- Leveraging advancements in machine learning, they began using AI-generated profile pictures. The first takedown including AI-generated profile pictures “deployed at scale” took place in December 2019. AI-generated pictures are freely available, and, because they’re not of actual humans, they allow propagandists to evade reverse image searching.
