    It was ever thus:

    A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

        See, even quotes with errors in them get upvoted before someone can come along and correct them :)

    And trust me, these generated images are getting scarily good.

    I have to agree, I would not be able to spot a single one of them as fake. They look really convincingly authentic IMO.

      Stalin famously ordered people he had killed erased from photos.

      Imagine what current and future autocratic regimes will be able to achieve when they want to rewrite their histories.

    AI is creating fake XY, and that is problems, problems, problems everywhere…

    During the last decades, IT guys and scientists have always dreamed about using AI for good things. But now AI has become so much better at creating fake things than good things :-(
