What's real anymore? How AI is distorting reality in the Middle East conflict So how do you prove what's real is real when the line between reality and fabrication has blurred so much in the fog of the Middle East war?

"Don't let #AI technology undermine your willingness to trust anything you see & hear." - NLP's @hannahcov.bsky.social

Adds Hannah in this @en.afp.com article: "That's what bad actors want: for people to think that everything can be faked, so they can't trust anything."

The illicit trade in antiquities is not the world's third-largest illicit trade: a critical evaluation of a factoid | Antiquity | Cambridge Core The claim that the illicit trade in antiquities is the third largest, second only to arms and narcotics, is widely repeated. But where does this claim originate and what is the evidence for its veracity? The authors present a ‘stratigraphic excavation’ of the claim by systematically searching through academic articles, popular press and policy literature to reveal the factoid's use and reuse over the past five decades. The authors find that the claim is not based on any original research or statistics, and it does not originate with any competent authorities. The analysis demonstrates how the uncritical repetition of unsubstantiated ‘facts’ can undermine legitimate efforts to prevent looting, trafficking and illicit sale of antiquities.

It is often said that ‘the illicit antiquities trade is the 3rd largest illicit trade in the world’.

This compelling factoid has gone so far as to influence policy and law making, but it has no basis in truth #FactcheckingDay
