No, it will force the development of AI to detect whether things are fake or not.
We'll soon be in an arms race as better-and-better AIs alternately try to fool or not be fooled.
The people who are able to understand and wield these technologies will have incredible amounts of power over those who are not.
This is one route to the singularity - to deal with the consequences of ML and AI advancements, you need to invest even more. This ever-increasing arms race sucks vast amounts of human and financial capital into the 'tech sphere'.
- manicdee 9y agoAnother option is that we will develop both cynicism about claims and care less about nudes/porn
- dynofuz 9y agoa lot of this stuff is already generated using generative adversairal networks, so i think the AI to fool is just as good as the one thats trying not to be fooled by design.
- prawn 9y agoI think we're already seeing a lot of cases where even AI to detect fakes will be irrelevant if the viewer wants to believe or ignore the alternative.
- thomas_howland 9y agoThat ignores the role of actual social networks and social proof in the construction of consensus reality. "Our" AI says it's real, and "your" AI says it's fake, and one can debate the margins - just as one debated whether it was metaphysically true that Clinton didn't have "sexual relations" with Lewinsky, or that Bush "lied" about Iraq.
