What is real?

Many people you encounter on the internet don't exist.

They have faces, names, bios, and credentials. They're on dating apps, LinkedIn, leaving product reviews, posting on social media, writing news articles.

They're applying for jobs. Spreading misinformation. Scamming people. And you might not be able to tell the difference.

Let's do a fun exercise: Can you spot who's real and who isn't?

Why This Matters

  • Trust erosion: If anyone can be fake, how do you trust anyone online?
  • Manipulation at scale: Thousands of fake accounts can shape public opinion, manipulate markets, and spread disinfo.
  • Economic fraud: Fake reviews cost consumers billions. Fake job applicants waste company resources.
  • Detection tools fail: Even AI detection works only ~60% of the time. Humans fare worse.
