This problem already existed since people got good enough with MS paint. Then got next level bigger with photoshop and is now simply on the next level once more with ai generation.
It’s bad, and it’s also not something new and not caused by AI but by humans misusing a tool. Again.
Aren’t we bringing about an era where you can’t trust what you see or hear, unless it comes from a source you trust?
Essentially aren’t we just reverting back to 1800s where news came from newspapers of reputation, and hearsay came from elsewhere
It’s worse. We are reverting back to the age of lügenpresse and hearsay comes in short-form video formats.
Many people simply do not care (or are even aware) if a source is trusted if the message aligns with their own bias or the message is presented as a new “fact”. Trust is irrelevant, unfortunately.
How is that different to before the 1800?

No because in the 1800s you could argue their was a thing called journalism. Now a days the debate between clicks and news means there isn’t going to be trust worthy news because it’s brought to you by Amazon AWS.
Definitely agree for the most part. I would say that independent news like AP, and the Guardian (arguably), do have reputations they try to uphold, but I hear you
This is like saying “Easily available drugs from deep web is nothing new”, but after deep web protocol got integrated into the chrome with black market set as homepage
I understand your core argument, but it’s weak. Fentanyl exists for 70 years, but only in the last 10 or so years it became problematic due to availability
Evil shit that was hard to do 20 years ago, is slowly becoming accessible to every dumb jackass you know that doesn’t know what command prompt is
True, and I still think it’s a symptom of a mentally cracked society.
The mentality that it is ok to do such things and often even publicly and commercially at that, just shows how fucked up we as a species really can be and too often are.
We need more education on many levels for all.
It’s so disingenuous to pretend this is the same as editing a photo in MS Paint.
