The rise of fake days out

Scrolling through social media for a nice day out can lead to beautiful scenery and lasting memories, but how do you know if that dream destination actually exists? As AI adoption grows, fictional attractions are luring unsuspecting travelers out of pocket.

In this episode of Which? Shorts, we explore the rise of fake days out on social media. We look at why influencers and scammers are leveraging AI to generate misleading travel content, and reveal how these posts utilise clicks and comments to drive real revenue.

Plus, we share essential tips on how to spot AI-generated glitches, how to protect your money when booking tickets and what to do if you stumble across a misleading advert on your feed.
