Brooks & Dunn Issues Warning About AI Scams & Fake Posts
on Oct 21, 2025
AI Posts Continue To Circulate The Internet
Artificial intelligence (AI) posts and fake online posts seem to be getting out of control due to their ability to spread dangerous scams and misinformation.
Many of these AI posts on social media include AI-generated images that look incredibly realistic but are used to manipulate users, and AI-generated videos that present fabricated news or events.
In April, Meta (formerly Facebook) announced they were implementing new efforts to clean up Facebook feeds by targeting spammy content and inauthentic accounts that try to manipulate engagement.
“Spam networks that coordinate fake engagement are an unfortunate reality for all social apps. We’re going to take more aggressive steps on Facebook to prevent this behavior. For example, comments that we detect are coordinated fake engagement will be seen less. We also continue to monitor and remove fake pages that exist to inflate reach – in 2024 we took down more than 100 Million fake Pages engaging in scripted follows abuse on Facebook,” Meta said at the time.
Brooks & Dunn Warn Fans Of Fake AI Posts
On Monday (October 20), country music icons Brooks & Dunn took to Instagram to call out a wave of false, AI-generated content spreading online under their name.
“The internet’s gotten pretty wild lately, seems like ‘AI’ can make anybody say or do just about anything these days,” the duo wrote. “We’ve seen fake tour announcements, fake albums, fake hospital stays, even fake movies and documentaries. There is an epidemic of misinformation being distributed to countless sites across the internet.”
Brooks & Dunn told fans they were “working nonstop” to eliminate these fake posts under their name, but the volume were seemingly out of control.
“If you see something with our name or face on it that didn’t come straight from our verified official accounts, don’t fall for it. For now, good old common sense seems to be the most effective weapon against the crazies and the ‘machine,’” the group said.
How Can You Spot An AI-Generated Post?
How can you identify fake AI-generated content on social media? Here are a few tips…
- The writing might sound overly formal, robotic, or unnaturally neutral.
- AI often repeats concepts in different ways, even within the same paragraph.
- AI might include confident-sounding but incorrect details. It can invent quotes, misattribute info, or cite nonexistent studies.
- Posts often lack a personal story, photo credit, or verifiable identity.
- AI-generated photos often use things like warped text, extra fingers, strange hands, asymmetry, or weird lighting/shadows.
If you encounter what may be a fake post or AI-generated photo, please report it and block the account.
