🤖 Meet Milla Sofia - an artificial intelligence-created influencer conquering social media with stunning photos.
Milla openly reveals her virtual personality, but people still show interest and even want to meet her in person. Such Ai users look so authentic that people often become victims of "cat hunting" and are deceived by false profiles.
🤖Celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti warns that it is very difficult to distinguish between artificial intelligence and humans, so it is difficult for users to recognise a fake. Some bots, like Caryn Marjorie's, offer paid chatting and voice memos, further blurring the lines between real and artificial. Even the dating app Raya has fallen victim to artificial intelligence bots infiltrating. ⚡️Conti urges caution and verification, especially if the conversation involves money or cryptocurrencies. Be vigilant, trust but verify!

😱On Thursday, a disturbing incident occurred in Seongnam city, just south of Seoul, where a man drove his car into pedestrians and then went on a stabbing rampage near a subway station. Nine people were stabbed at the scene, while five others were injured by the car before the knife attack.

⚡️Hundreds of teenage boys and girl scouts have fallen ill at a global event in South Korea due to a sweltering heat wave.
⚡️The 12-day event, hosting around 40,000 participants from 155 countries, has been marred by heat-related issues. On Thursday, 1,486 people visited the on-site hospital, with 250 experiencing skin rashes, 138 suffering from heat-related illnesses, and 386 reporting bug bites.

⚡️Indonesian cleric Panji Gumilang, 77, was arrested for blasphemy and hate speech after allowing women to preach and pray alongside men at Al-Zaytun boarding school.
⚡️The unorthodox practices of the school, such as gender-segregated prayers, have sparked backlash from religious groups. Blasphemy cases are on the rise in Indonesia, with strict Islamic laws enforced in certain regions. Panji's arrest reflects the country's shift towards religious conservatism.
⚡️Critics argue that blasphemy laws are being weaponized against religious minorities and those advocating for gender equality. Indonesia's historically tolerant form of Islam is facing challenges as the country becomes more Islamized.
