Police departments around the world are warning against the dangers of a trending social media prank that uses artificial intelligence to simulate a home invasion.

Known online as the “homeless man prank,” the perpetrator convinces the recipient that an unhoused stranger has entered their home by texting them artificially generated images of a person experiencing homelessness sitting on their couch, lying on their bed and searching through their kitchen cupboards.

The trend has spread across multiple platforms, including TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.
