What’s the difference between deepfakes and AI-generated images?
Deepfakes are a specific type of AI-generated content designed to imitate a real person, usually to mislead. They typically involve face swaps, recreating someone’s likeness, or generating realistic visuals that make it look like a person said or did something they never actually did.
Other AI-generated images are created from scratch using text prompts: things like fantasy art, stock-style photos, or conceptual illustrations. They’re synthetic, but they’re not pretending to be real people or events.
In short, all deepfakes are AI-generated, but not all AI-generated images are deepfakes.
