Synthetic Media includes any artificially-generated content, such as text, video, voice, and images, where AI takes on the part of the creative process. Recently, that kind of media has become very trendy. Remember, for instance, AI-created avatars by the popular app: Users upload 15-20 photos of themselves and later get various colorful synthetic avatars in different styles. The result is impressive indeed! However, very few users are concerned about the app's safety since it can collect personal information such as photos and phone numbers.
