AI face-to-face scam is exposed! Be wary of superstitious high-tech disguises

◎ Yang Xue

CCTV exposed the AI face-to-face scam on the hot search. The results of uploading a photo of a pet dog show that the face of the pet dog can score 96 points, and "the reading luck is very good", "the fortune of life is good", "the ability to do things has ideas". Such a face-to-face report, the tester needs to pay tens of yuan to watch.

Some netizens said that the "AI face" thing still needs to be exposed? But the fact is so paradoxical, obviously unreliable, there is still a big market. A casual search on the Internet, there is a "summary of ai artificial intelligence face-to-face projects". After divination and fortune telling are disguised with high technology, they infiltrate the corners of the online world like "sneaking into the night with the wind".

AI fortune telling, in fact, is collected through a limited number of facial feature points, compared with a limited database feature value, and compiled a set of specious results according to ready-made words. Some analysis that sounds very reasonable, general comfort, are actually vague descriptions that can happen to all people, as if everything is said and nothing is said. In fact, this is not essentially different from the once popular stall fortune telling, but from offline to online, the user market is larger, it is easier to accumulate wealth, and the cost of wealth is lower.

What needs to be vigilant is that online fortune telling is more harmful than offline fortune telling. On the one hand, there are serious security risks in uploading personal information on the Internet, especially facial information. If a merchant who collects money for the purpose of collecting money packages and sells the personal information collected, it is a considerable amount of income. For individuals, online fortune telling has the dual hazards of financial loss and risk of personal information leakage.

On the other hand, with the "assist" of the network environment and high technology, divination and fortune telling have better concealment and confusion. Superstitious activities have changed a "vest", and many people do not recognize it, so the social harm is even greater. The strange and chaotic wind blowing into the Internet will greatly hinder the dissemination of scientific spirit and the improvement of the scientific literacy of the whole people.

The Internet chaos "wildfires burn endlessly, and the spring wind blows again." Although it is important for regulatory authorities to severely crack down on online divination chaos and severely punish illegal businesses in accordance with laws and regulations, it is more important that every user and every netizen should be vigilant against the high-tech camouflage of superstitious activities, strengthen the awareness of personal information protection, and form a joint force in the whole society to resist the endless routines of online superstition.
