This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This will eventually settle into a new era of going back to times where people didn’t have cameras in their pockets.
People eventually will start believing only other people who have some reputation at stake. Like journalists and similar.
It won’t happen overnight. A lot of harm and bad will happen before we learn it.
I think it’s more likely that we’ll need some cryptographic verification at time of recording to be valid, or a physical medium like film to be present. So perhaps film cameras or discs (non rewritable) have a resurgence.
There is no spoon.
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
Having grown up pre-Internet I've always just assumed everything on the Internet is fake. It looks like that was the way to go. People really need to adpot that line of thinking now. Treat everything as sus ;)
That's exactly what i do. When I see something and deem it important for me (i don't care to check random memes or cat pictures because it's not relevant if the images exist in real life), i try to find other sources to verify the content. I also realize that even if i found supporting evidence, it's still information from the internet and therefor in general not trustworthy - just like any unsigned message has no inherent authenticity.
Let’s burn down all the data centers
Wait! Let me backup my sheit first!!
Would having experts capable of telling real videos from fake ones even solve the main problem, that being the problem of public perception? The experts would have an important role in, for example, intelligence agencies, but the public is still going to trust its eyes, and in the presence of multiple contradictory videos, its biases, especially since there's always going to be someone claiming to be an expert to back them up.
Was with family and wanted to find a clip on YouTube that demonstrated people being tricked by 3d chalk art. I couldn’t find a clip that was not AI slop (lots and lots of these) or just faked reactions. Won’t bother trying that again :D
I was told we would always be able to tell.
