Astonishing<\/a>, which states in its description that \u201cSome stories here are fictional and created for inspiration and entertainment\u201d and that images are AI-generated or royalty-free.<\/p>\nWith the amount of AI-generated material on the Internet growing, Michael Hoechsmann, a professor in Lakehead University\u2019s faculty of education, said the world is in an era of distrust and information overload.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s lots of stuff floating around, some of it true, some of it not true and some of it somewhere between those two places,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Readers should learn to double check the source of information, Hoechsmann said, noting they should look for multiple sources to confirm it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n
He added that gatekeeper functions, like trusted media sources, have been eroded and \u201cwhat has happened is a lot of unwelcome guests have joined the party, which are also information creators and providers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should be aware that anything that strikes us as uncanny, unusual and perhaps unlikely is something we should be triangulating, we should be checking\u00a0again,\u201d Hoechsmann said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it stimulates your emotional response – you react with anger or sadness or what have you, that is an early indicator you should be double-checking the source is reliable. It\u2019s most reliable if you can find multiple sources.\u201d<\/p>\n
