We are now in the era where video proof means nothing. (lemmy.world)

Deception isn’t new but soon anyone can fabricate proof with AI. Plato’s cave isn’t a metaphor anymore it’s a feed. When everything can be faked, what’s left to believe? What happens to meaning when nothing is real anymore?

Nah I remember with photoshop all kinds of bullshit. It's easier now, but AI has telltale signs unlike photoshop unless you're clone stamping. I think the main difference is tech illiterate asshats can fake shit with no effort now, so the bar is even lower than before when it was pretty low already

Fair. But if tech illiterate people can fake reality now, what happens when the tech educated start doing it on purpose?

It is not the same by any measure. It is infinitely easier and faster to do now than it has ever been. And no, AI won't have telltale signs.
