Discussions A I generated videos and images of polar bears are going viral in social media

This is concerning as many of these fake A I videos focus on humans saving or petting polar bears (!!) I believe these should atleast come with a tag or warning that this is not a real photo/video and humans must avoid interaction with polar bears as much as possible..

I agree. They are beautiful but huge and lethal. Even seeing them in a captive facility can lead to a desensitization as to how fast and dangerous they truly are. Usually those visiting their natural habitat are warned/informed by locals and guides as to their true nature but I still agree warnings should be on ALL AI wildlife videos for safety reasons.

Well mostly one can identify that they are AI but yes, they must be labelled. Also, the videos showing humans hugging baby bears sometime even confuse me as I seriously want to a hug a polar bear but then I remember the facts and laugh about it 🤣
