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?

Truth has been edited before for sure in history books, photos and entire lives. The difference now is anyone can do it.

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?
