Parents: Give this quiz to your school-aged kids. And then share it with your own aging parents. You might all learn how to better spot fakes. And you'll definitely learn why, in the age of AI, we have to be more cautious in trusting our eyes.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why itβs better than everything else: itβs a weapon, and the best weapon is one you donβt know exists, or worse, one you think you canβt live without
