The ingenuity of fraud

TALKING ART
FAKES seem to surpass originals in the world of today.
Fake news always seems to get more attention and reactions than the actual ones that is reported. Reality is devoid of soap opera-style drama, you see. Knockoff versions of every designer brand you can think of abound in the market; from watches and haute couture to handbags and shoes, there is nothing that one can’t get a cheaper counterfeit model of.
And with all the leaps and bounds that technology has been making, the list has only expanded thicker than most waistlines, soon after the Deepavali sweets-devouring spree. Artificial Intelligence can now write your essays, paint your pictures, create phony holiday images, mimic your grandmother’s voice, and even mock arrest you to swindle your bona fide earnings. Trust is quickly being replaced by suspicion in our hearts.
