It lowers the cost and effort, on an incredibly effective form of lying.
It is effective because it engages a set of senses we have a harder time questioning ... and for good reason ... it’s (currently) easy to spot these unless you are really distracted. That’s because our brains blind us to how it constructs what we see ... we don’t get to continuously deconstruct our consciousness of red or blue, or a three dimensional reality. Such an adaptation would have been counterproductive. These videos cross back and forth in the ‘uncanny valley’ right now. I could easily tell it’s a fake, though i can’t explain why. Our ability to spot these with effort won’t be true forever.
I do fully agree that people have overcome public lying in many forms. It does take a while for society as a whole to adjust.
- billylindeman 8y agoI'm interested on how society will adapt to this in criminal cases. I think soon we'll need better ways to authenticate and validate video / audio evidence.
