Really? We all grew up with the internet and look how many of us fall for the massive problem of never discussing anything with nuance, so that all conversations turn into screaming matches that never have any middle ground or even a shared reality.

This world is far too friendly to making new technologies work for companies, that we let capitalism completely corrupt any possible benefit and instead fall for all of the ways they figure out how to misuse the tech. Things are only getting worse and worse. Because, in the end, you don’t need to fool every single person to have a negative impact. You just have to fool the gullible ones. And no matter the age group and culture, there are always gullible people.

Are you aware of declining literacy rates and the increasing problems schools are having with college students having no idea how to use a computer, or as other have mentioned, the embarrassing inability for most young/old people to identify accurate, reputable sources with reliable information?

This will make it orders of magnitude more prevalent and accessible, as well as automatable, plus it will look much more realistic than poor cgi.

It’s not about the quality of the animation. It’s about the accessibility. Things are shared wider and faster than ever. So all it reasonably would take is one person sharing the wrong thing at the right time. And it’ll happen constantly.

Look how stupid the concept behind qanon is. But, at the right time, one person who was probably LARPing altered the entire course of human history. Imagine that, but it doesn’t even take that amount of effort. Type a few phrases into a video generator and, boom. The entire concept of photographic/video evidence is suddenly completely up for debate.

It doesn’t take something special for destabilization. It literally just takes the question, the possibility that something we have photographic proof of isn’t actually happening for everyone to split into two camps. If the internet has taught us anything, it’s that people love having their biases reinforced. You don’t even have to convince everyone. The majority of people can know with full certainty that something was made by AI. But there will always be a large group of people that take it as proof that their beliefs were just verified. And they’ll never let go of it.
