The battle for hearts and minds has moved into the digital sphere, where truth is often the first casualty.

Living in a cooperative housing society (CHS/the Society) often comes with a unique set of challenges—be it navigating paperwork, dealing with redevelopment issues, or ensuring fair and lawful management practices. Questions frequently arise about what is permissible, what is required as per bye-laws and where responsibilities lie. While CHS are meant to function democratically and transparently, members often find themselves confused or caught between unclear rules and arbitrary decisions.

Someone who chose to remain anonymous has uploaded a slightly altered version of a popular song onto a music-sharing site. The song plays just the same to human ears, but cleverly slips past the artificial intelligence (AI) copyright checker while 'creating' the altered version. In another scenario, a competitor bombards an insurance company’s AI-powered quote tool with queries—just enough to reverse-engineer the model and create a replica, saving themselves months of development work.

These AI-generated forgeries are so convincing that they could easily fool an untrained eye or even some basic verification systems.
