Cardi B is seemingly at her wit’s end when it comes to AI.
On Wednesday (Feb. 4), the Am I the Drama? rapper tweeted her frustration about the emerging technology as it relates to her elder relatives.
“Free my older family members from facebook Ai [robot emoji] [weary face emoji],” wrote the 33-year-old rapper, but didn’t elaborate further on what drove her to write the post.
Reporting from Parents.com notes that older adults have long been vulnerable to misinformation because isolation and limited familiarity with evolving technologies make them attractive targets. Reports also suggest that generative artificial intelligence has intensified these risks through deepfakes, Al-generated videos and voice-cloning scams that are increasingly difficult to detect.
According to a 2025 University of Michigan study cited, 92% of adults over 50 want to know whether they are interacting with human-made or Al-generated content, and 81% want to learn more about Al's risks.
The outlet also referenced a Florida case in which a woman named Sharon Brightwell lost $15,000 after scammers used Al to mimic her daughter's voice in July 2025. The tactic is classified by the Federal Communications Commission as a "grandparent scam.”
NBC News has reported that Al-driven misinformation is also eroding trust more broadly, as fake images and altered videos circulate during fast-moving news events.
Stanford Social Media Lab director Jeff Hancock told NBC News that people may increasingly "not trust things they see in digital spaces," while other experts warned that constant doubt can lead to disengagement rather than clarity.
