Fake news profiles, accounts and mails have left people around the globe worried. You do not know who could be trapped into it.

In yet another case, a man created a fake LinkedIn profile using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Roshan Patel, a New York-based entrepreneur, made realistic images using a tool that creates AI-based content.

Roshan then went on to claim on Twitter that he made a fake LinkedIn profile of a startup founder using AI, and within 24 hours, a VC analyst reached out to invest.

I created a fake LinkedIn profile of a founder.
– AI-generated white male face
– Stripe alum
– Stanford dropout
– Going through YC
– “polymath”

I know a bunch of people who worked at Stripe and NONE of them have anything good to say about Chad Smith.

“a few ex-Stripe buddies of mine had great things to say about you…” is just *chef’s kiss* https://t.co/W4Lk6Ab0hW

I don’t think that guy is trying to invest if he’s lying about talking to people from Stripe about someone who doesn’t exist.

Pretty sure he’s trying to scam you too. https://t.co/Z5QGXbzOs8
