kind of sucks idk if AI or not

The cynic in me is a pretty concerned that all this skepticism of whether anything and everything was actually AI generated, is going to be weaponised much further than it already is to brainwash even more rubes into a false reality. People are gonna be living in VR without ever putting a headset on.

Incriminating photo? Obviously AI.

Corruption on recording? Duh it's a deepfake.

It's not really clear how we mitigate this one, tbh.

Not sure if this is optimistic or not, I feel like it's going to suck for awhile until we just don't trust anything digital ever again. There will just be an assumption that anything digital is not real. We'll go back to "If it's on the internet, it must be true" being a joke. Also not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

It says 2 years ago on the post so I doubt it. However, I'd like to remind people that it doesn't have to be AI to be fake, a dude could just apply a filter to a photo they took in recent times. The Internet isn't exactly a place to be believed without proper sources.

FWIW, I saw this photo before ChatGPT launched, pretty safe bet it's not AI.
