4-8-2023 (TAIPEI) A set of photos of a young woman withdrawing money from an ATM at a convenience store while completely naked has gone viral on Taiwanese social media. The photos show the woman wearing a full-face safety helmet and a mask while withdrawing money from an ATM at a convenience store. Other customers can be seen browsing the store’s ice cream refrigerator while ignoring the naked woman. The woman then moves to another convenience store where she is seen withdrawing money again, before boldly selecting contact lenses from a display shelf while still naked.
The photos have sparked a heated debate among netizens, with some speculating that the woman could be a scammer in disguise. However, other netizens have pointed out that the photos seem to have been manipulated with the use of AI technology, which could have been done after the photos were taken.
The location of the convenience stores in the photos appears to be in Taiwan, but some netizens have commented that the images show signs of digital manipulation, which could create a misleading impression known as “deepfake” images.
Concerns about the proliferation of deepfake and AI-generated images have risen in recent years, with many people worried about the potential spread of fake news and misinformation. Experts warn that it is important for individuals to carefully verify the authenticity of images and information before sharing them online.
While it is unclear whether the images are real or fake, the photos have sparked a lively discussion online about the use of digital technology to manipulate images, and the potential impact on society.
