IT Home, Nov 13: According to CCTV News, a purported "Peace Hotel 510,000-yuan sky-high bill" recently circulated online and sparked widespread discussion; Shanghai's Huangpu police reported that the bill was AI-generated. Police said the head of an internet liquor sales company in another province, 赵某, organized people surnamed Wang and Dong to use AI software to alter the hotel bill's amount, replace the hotel's liquor with their own company's products, and produce fake videos, which were then spread widely online through controlled accounts and paid posting. With assistance from public security authorities in the other province, Huangpu police have arrested 15 people involved; four were placed under criminal coercive measures in accordance with the law and the other 11 received administrative penalties, and police warned that the internet is not outside the law.
