But many elderly people don't think so. Instead, they think the AI ​​cute kids in short videos are cute, soft and soft, and the pictures are vivid, and they even think Share the video to family group.

Some media reports say that some elderly people will play videos of AI cute kids calling "grandma" for just 5 seconds repeatedly for an hour. Every time the cute kids on their phones shout, they enthusiastically Response.

The elderly also play the video of "AI grandson sending suckling pig" dozens of times every day. Even though the baby under one year old in the video was walking barefoot in the field, holding a roasted suckling pig twice as big as his body with one hand, they still firmly believe that this is filial piety to their grandson and specially delivering New Year's goods to themselves.

And in the comment section of this type of video, it is full of elderly users such as "happy time", "happy happiness", "heart rain", "winning wealth Liu Sijie" and other elderly users They not only believed in the blessings left behind, but also praised the virtual grandson's "filial piety".

Behind this phenomenon, it reflects not only the conflict between technology and reality, but also the AI ​​technology and short videos between different generations. The cognitive distinction of content even includes the emotional dilemma of the elderly.

So how to solve these problems? Follow the perspective of "Crowrui", let's take a look together!

Multiple factors intertwined with silver-haired people fell into the "cyber trap"

AI fake grandson videos can make many elderly people believe in it, and there are complex reasons behind it.

Elders who have experienced the era of material scarcity and generally have a low average education level, have a natural acceptance of the "child prodigy" deep in their hearts.

The "ear literacy" craze in the 1980s and the "Qigong Master" tide in the 1990s were all the popular phenomenon, which also laid the cognition for the magical narrative in the AI ​​era today. Foreshadowing.

Although most elderly people no longer believe in Qigong scams, they can be used as technical scammers to switch from offline to online, and use the brand new carrier of short videos to change content When the same trick is reused, their original defense mechanism will naturally fail.

Because from a cognitive perspective, many elderly people have a very vague concept of the authenticity of content on public platforms.

For example, in the era of television and newspapers, a considerable number of elderly people firmly believe that they can be reported.It is a product with large brand and good quality.

In their opinion, TV stations and newspapers are the most trustworthy endors. Even if they know that these products are advertisements for money, they will feel that the media will guarantee the quality and will not be bad.

The pictures are from the Internet, and Ant-Listen and Tibetan Secret Oil, who have been on TV, hold the view that "If it is fake, how can it be displayed on TV? ? Why doesn’t the country care? So many people watch it, why no one reports it? ”

This kind of thinking still exists in the era of short videos, and many elderly people naturally think that the content played on their mobile phones is real , even endorsed by authoritative organizations.

In addition to the solidification of the cognitive layer, from a technical perspective, many elderly people have little conception of deep forgery technology and lack the ability to distinguish such false content.

Even if a lot of AI content is marked with the small words "AI generated" by the platform, many elderly people have difficulty paying attention to such inconspicuous markings due to their reduced vision, and they even didn't realize that there is such a thing. hint.

In addition, the number of empty-nest elderly people is increasing now, and many elderly people are extremely eager for family affection, and it is easier to use virtual interaction as a substitute for family affection and be deceived.

Some elderly people even leave video messages to dozens of AI cute kids every day. They say that these children call grandpa every day, which is more intimate than real grandsons.

What is even more worrying is that AI fraud has formed a complete industrial chain.

The incident of "fake Jin Dong" emotional fraud a few years ago was widely known on short video platforms, but this did not affect the "scholar" and "A smile" who continued to be the one who was later. Elderly people are sought after.

At that time, these people needed to be played by real people in fraud, but now the virtual characters generated by AI are not only more realistic, but also better understand the needs of the elderly.

Many criminal gangs will have professional teams to develop "silver hair special supply" AI models for the elderly in the upstream, and batches of customized videos, and downstreams will accurately place them through health groups, square dance communities and other channels.

There are also many scammers who not only use AI face-changing technology to generate fake stars, but also pretend to be an elderly person and commit fraud. If the platform cannot carefully identify and does not warn, then the loss will not only be feelings, but also real money.

The technology is so mature and the intentional layout of the criminal team, let alone the elderly, how many young people can guarantee that they will not be deceived? If you think about it carefully, how many young people are shooting "AI" beauties on social platforms?

The picture comes from the dream, and you can generate AI beauty with a simple click.

The platform's responsibility and remediation of "inspection"

At the moment when AI fake videos and frauds are rampant, short video platforms are to blame.

PartThe platform has serious loopholes in the content review process, and the dissemination and dissemination of a large number of false AI content is free to flow. Moreover, for the sake of traffic and popularity, they even open the door to some videos that obviously violate common sense and may mislead the elderly, and do not fully consider the reality of the elderly group's weak discrimination ability.

At the same time, many short video platform algorithms over-came to user preferences and constantly push similar AI fake videos, which also makes the elderly deeply trapped. The more they watch, the more they fall, the deeper they fall, which undoubtedly aggravates the elderly. Difficulty in identifying people.

And when facing the AI ​​fraud industry chain, many platforms lack sufficient sensitivity and response measures, and failed to cut off the spread of fraudulent content in a timely manner, leaving many elderly people unprepared Being injured.

Although it is not difficult to find that searching for related news, whether it is Tencent, Douyin or Kuaishou, relevant regulations have been issued for such incidents:

As early as 2022, Tencent launched the "Silver Hair" "Guardian Plan" will increase the review of content involving false information and fraud risks, use technical means to identify and intercept bad videos, and popularize anti-fraud knowledge to elderly users by pushing related articles and videos. Douyin also uses advanced algorithm technology to accurately identify AI-generated content, and mark and remind users in prominent locations of the video, so that users can be vigilant before watching. Kuaishou has established a complete user feedback mechanism to encourage users to report bad content. Once the report is received, the platform will quickly deal with video accounts involving AI fraud to curb the spread of bad content from the source.

But the platform often lags behind the tricks of criminal gangs, and the cognition of the elderly cannot keep up with the development of scams. The elderly are still being cheated one after another, and as a platform, there are still hardships to say.

But no matter what, short video platforms continue to strengthen technical prevention and control capabilities, continuously optimize content management systems, and increase efforts to carry out user education, which can greatly curb AI fake videos and fraudulent content. The scope of communication can also protect the emotional and property safety of elderly users to a greater extent.

Of course, the fundamental solution to the problem is that the elderly should communicate and learn more with their children and friends, read less and believe less. Children should also accompany the elderly more and take the initiative to communicate with them about such things.

Only in this way, the elderly can enjoy the fun of short videos while not being harmed by false information and fraud.

Written at the end

AI itself is a double-edged sword. While bringing convenience, it does This has forced some people to develop cognitive blind spots due to the rapid development of technology.

However, in the long run, this is not only a problem that can be solved by harsh criticism of the elderly, children, and platforms. All parties should cooperate with government departments and social organizations to jointly build a comprehensive protection system .

For example, the government can take the lead in issuing more complete laws and regulations, clarify the standards for punishing the spread of false AI content and fraud; social organizations can carry out offline activities to provide face-to-face anti-fraud training and popularization of online knowledge for the elderly.

Only when all parties work together to give full play to the positive role of AI and suppress its negative effects, can we truly build a solid security line for elderly users and minimize their chances of being cheated.
