technologies shaping this new realities such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, 
Dall-E2, StableDiffusion, and others. More importantly, we will discuss 
what kinds of telltales can be explored to expose such creations or 
forgeries and pinpoint the research challenges ahead and implications of 
such fakes to the society at large.
