AI Misuse in India: What do you think? AI a boon or a curse? If this topic is debated then probably the debate will not end. Some people will count the advantages of AI and some disadvantages. Till now AI was being used in a picture to make the boy look like a girl, to make him old and to make the picture laugh. People were seeing these pictures as entertainment and increasing technology, but if the picture of a serious issue is changed with the help of AI, then the time becomes serious. In the past, many experts were claiming that AI can be used to spread false and fake news. Now this claim seems to be proving true.
