Because humans are social creatures. Talking to a bot, even an incredibly accurate one, isn't the same.
Tech like deepfakes or generated text is going to require us all to cryptographically sign content in the future. I foresee a time where white house press releases must be signed by the president just to confirm its real content.

- whalabi 7y agoI've wondered if I should make a Reddit where everyone proves their ID, maybe even with a video so it's a lot harder to fake, so everyone can only have one account, and you'd know they aren't people working for the Russian government or whatever.
- bennyelv 7y agoThat doesn't quite solve the problem unfortunately. If this is the only solution then the subject of some content can repudiate it by not signing it, even if it did actually happen. For example if the president was filmed saying something in public he later wanted to deny, he could just claim it was faked. The person who filmed it could sign it, but who are they and what authority do they have to claim that they didn't fake it?
