Artificial Intelligence has long made its way out of dystopian science fiction movies and into reality. It has found use in many different aspects of our daily lives and influences not only consumer habits but also our perception of reality, whether we notice it or not. The first part of this paper aims to explain foundational functionalities of AI and lay out some of its fields of use, as well as the risks it brings, focusing especially on the topic of deepfakes. The second part of the paper aims to analyze how easy it is to fool people using AI tools. To achieve this, people of different age groups were confronted with both real and AI generated images. Using an observation grid, it was determined how and if the participants could correctly identify AI generated content. Furthermore, a qualitative survey was carried out to learn which fears people might have in relation to AI.
