What is the 'AI homeless man prank'? Police says it's dangerous
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – An AI-driven TikTok trend is resulting in 911 calls by panicked people who think a man has broken into their homes.
The prank uses artificial intelligence to create a picture or video of a "homeless man" entering a person's home, going through their fridge, or lying in their bed. The prankster sends the fake video to a loved one, who thinks the convincing images are real.
Police departments in at least four states have received calls for reported home intrusions only to find out the "intruder" was an AI-generated person, The New York Times reports.
