Episode Details

An Australian influencer known as Lily Jay has been using AI-generated videos to portray herself as a humanitarian helping children in crisis zones—videos that have gone viral and spurred donations.

This raises urgent questions about the authenticity of online charity campaigns and the risks of trusting digital visuals over reality. As the probe deepens, it’s forcing a reckoning about how we consume and support causes online—and how easily our compassion can be manipulated by artificial imagery.
