KRIV reporter Abigail Dye is alerting viewers that she has been the victim of an AI deep fake.
Dye, who joined the Houston Fox owned station last year, posted a faked AI video of herself to Facebook with the warning, “This video is FAKE! The scammers are getting craftier every day. This is honestly super creepy and scary.”
“I don’t chat with anyone on messenger about anything but my stories. Do not trust these accounts!” she added.
Houston media blogger, who first wrote about it, said the video seemed to be taken from an actual video Dye made, but overdubbed with an AI voice. McGuff said the scammer is likely using Dye’s image to scam others.
Before joining KRIV in 2023, Dye worked as a crime reporter at KOKI in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
