As AI deepfakes sow doubt in legitimate media, anyone can claim something didn’t happen.
Honestly, it’s not a bad thing. People were used to believe every single thing they saw. Now they are forced to verify information or least stop and think if it’s true.
Are they verifying anything?
It isn’t like propaganda is a new thing.
Some do, others don’t. Many people that care about truth, but were ignorant before, will have to do something about it since “AI” generated content is so prevalent now.
Except most people can’t be bothered to verify anything. They see a video on Ticktok and assume it is true
Some people just can’t be helped. But it will affect thinking population.
“Pics or it didn’t happen.”

The problem though is it’s a bad thing cuz not everyone is skeptical, or on the flip side they’re too skeptical. I have a brother-in-law for whom literally every video is fake unless it agrees with him. Doesn’t matter if it was live on C-Span it still fake.
reality is deeply unserious
