ON 5 DECEMBER, ACCORDING TO VARIOUS MEDIA REPORTS, IN RECENT DAYS, A KRABS MERCHANT AT JIANGSUYANG LAKE HAS WITNESSED PROGRESS IN THE USE OF AI TECHNOLOGY BY CUSTOMERS TO FORGE IMAGES OF CRAB DEATHS TO OBTAIN REFUNDS. THE POLICE CONFIRMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A FRAUDULENT ACTION AGAINST THE CLIENT AND SENTENCED HIM TO EIGHT DAYS OF ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW, WHILE RECOVERING $195 OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE OFFENCE。
The incident took place on 18 November, when a Guangdong customer, after buying eight crabs online, claimed that six of them were dead and submitted pictures and videos as evidence. The merchants, although skeptical, opted for refunds in order to avoid disputes。
HOWEVER, FOLLOW-UP VERIFICATIONS REVEALED DISCREPANCIES IN THE NUMBER OF DEAD CRABS IN THE TWO VIDEOS PROVIDED BY CUSTOMERS, SUSPECTED OF BEING FORGED THROUGH AI TECHNOLOGY. THE MERCHANTS CALLED THE POLICE。
The police investigation concluded that the act was a fraud and issued a decision on administrative penalties. The client concerned was held in administrative detention for eight days, with the full amount recovered。BUSINESSES SAY THAT WHILE IT IS TIME-CONSUMING TO DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS, THEY WANT TO REMIND THEIR PEERS BY DOING SO THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SILENT IN THE FACE OF AI。
AT THE SAME TIME, SIMILAR CASES OCCUR FREQUENTLY ON ELECTRIC POWER PLATFORMS. FOR EXAMPLE, SELLERS CLAIM THAT THE CUSTOMER USED AI TECHNOLOGY TO FALSIFY A BROKEN IMAGE OF THE LUGGAGE CASE TO APPLY FOR A REFUND, EVEN IN THE CASE OF A SWAP。
Some of the sellers chose to report the complaint directly after it failed, and the police intervened and established a fraud case。
