I think you're right - and that in the future social networks will likely be relegated to kids just having fun again, they're just too easy to manipulate to be taken seriously with substantive social issues. I also wonder how much farther this will go... will YouTube suffer an authenticity crisis? Will people only trust things that they see with their own eyes? Or will a way be developed to assure folks that what they are seeing is authentic and not AI generated/manipulated?
