Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
Adam Mosseri emphasizes that the proliferation of AI-generated content is making it increasingly difficult for users to distinguish between genuine and fabricated media, raising concerns about misinformation and manipulation.
In response to AI's ability to create flawless simulations, consumers may begin to value raw, imperfect content as a more trustworthy indicator of authenticity, fostering a shift towards more genuine, unedited media.
To maintain user trust, platforms like Instagram should implement systems to label AI-generated content clearly, invest in technologies that verify media authenticity, and provide users with context about the origins of the content they consume.
The reliance on credible creators will grow as consumers seek trusted sources for information. This shift will encourage creators to build and maintain their reputations through transparency and ethical content sharing.
In an environment flooded with synthetic media, creators who consistently demonstrate transparency, such as by disclosing AI usage and sharing behind-the-scenes processes, will set themselves apart, building stronger relationships with their audiences.

UPS Is Using a Herd of Robots and AI to Spot Fake Returns
AI-Powered Fraud Detection: Return Vision
Happy Returns has rolled out an AI tool named "Return Vision" that flags potentially fraudulent returns. The system analyzes return timing, shopper history, and matches item photos against original listings to assign risk scores, a hybrid method blending automated detection with human review.
Robotic Support in Processing Hubs
The Verge highlights how robots move returns around processing centers as part of the new workflow. This visual overlay bolsters efficiency and accuracy in the logistics chain.
Pilot Retailers and Scope
The pilot launched in early November 2025, involving apparel brands Everlane, Revolve, and Under Armour. It's running during the height of the holiday returns spike, with evaluation planned for broader deployment in 2026.
Industry Context and Scale
Return fraud in the U.S. costs retailers an estimated $76.5 billion annually, equating to nearly 9% of returns. In 2025, close to $850 billion worth of goods will be returned, around 15.8% of total sales.
Operational Mechanics: AI Meets Human Oversight
Return Vision flags fewer than 1% of returns as potentially fraudulent; human auditors then verify these at hubs in California, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi. Ultimately, around 10% of flagged cases are confirmed fraud, with an average value of $261, highlighting both precision and financial impact.
AI Training: AI Tutorial of the Day
Turn a Famous Brand’s Tagline Into a Motivational AI Monologue
Unleash the potential of AI by experimenting with various models on thareja.ai.
One of the easiest ways to see how different AI models think is to give them a familiar brand and ask them to speak.
Brand taglines carry emotion, identity, and intent. Turning them into monologues is a surprisingly effective way to test tone, confidence, and creative depth across models.

Click the ( + ) icon next to Automatic and choose your model.
For this tutorial, I selected Claude.
Why Claude?
Claude tends to excel at:
Emotional flow
Reflective, human-sounding language
Long-form motivational tone without sounding forced
Try This Prompt & Observe the Difference
Once you’ve selected a model, try this prompt:
Take Nike’s tagline “Just Do It” and expand it into a short motivational monologue.
Write as if the brand is speaking directly to someone on the edge of giving up.
Keep it confident, grounded, and emotionally resonant.
Avoid marketing buzzwords.

AI Response (Excerpt)
You already know what needs to be done.
The hesitation isn’t confusion; it’s fear.
You don’t wait for the perfect moment.
You move while it’s uncomfortable.
Because progress doesn’t come from thinking longer.
It comes from starting.
Just do it.
Why This Experiment Works
When I tested the same prompt on GPT-4o, the tone became sharper and more punchy, almost like a locker-room speech.
Claude leaned more inward and reflective.
Being able to switch models instantly on thareja.ai makes these contrasts clear.
It turns brand voice into a creative experiment instead of a subjective opinion.
Happy Prompting!
