The rise of AI technology has brought both positive and negative implications. While AI filters and trends on platforms like TikTok have gained popularity, there has also been a darker side to its usage, such as the creation of fake images and videos that can be highly damaging.
Manu Rios, who is more active on Instagram, made a rare Twitter post to directly address the situation and assert that the video was indeed fake. His tweet prompted an outpouring of support and love from fans, who offered their assurance and stood by him during what must have been a difficult time.
The incident sparked conversations about the dangers of AI-generated deepfakes, leading some to call for regulations and legislation to prevent the proliferation of such videos.
Meanwhile, Manu continues to share glimpses of his life on Instagram, where he boasts over 11 million followers. Recently, he posted vacation photos, showcasing picturesque locations and enjoying a relaxing holiday. Fans expressed their curiosity about the exact location but understood his desire for privacy.
In addition to his social media presence, fans eagerly await the release of his upcoming short film, “Strange Way of Life,” later this year. As AI technology becomes increasingly prevalent, many are keen to see if official measures will be implemented to address the concerns raised by deepfakes and AI-generated content.
