Fake receipts are now easy to generate with ChatGPT
They’re convincing and additional tweaking makes them look very real
OpenAI says metadata and usage policies will protect us
Generative AI appears to be fixing one of the most obvious problems with AI-generated imagery: the text. And while that’s welcome news for anyone fed up with seeing images containing absolute gibberish, it may have unintended consequences too – it turns out that ChatGPT is now pretty good at creating fake receipts.
The fakes aren’t completely convincing if you know what to look for: they’re a little too clean, a little too CGI, and sometimes get the sums wrong (like in our example above). But they’re also easy to miss – and with a bit of fiddling you can make them look more realistic with creases and food stains.
