Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes We’re living in a time when AI can steal a writer’s voice, forge an artist’s work, and clone a person’s face or voice—all with a few clicks. In this episode, I dig into the growing threat of AI-driven scams, from fake books published under real authors' names to deepfakes and phishing that targets everyone—not just your grandma. I share my own experience with AI theft, spotlight high-profile victims like Savannah Guthrie and Kara Swisher, and offer real-world tips for spotting digital deception. The bots are getting smarter, but so can we.
