A deepfake video and/or AI-generated speech will be published on some major politician hacked Twitter account and will be causing a momentary but significant geopolitical stir.
The world will scramble to find a way to authenticate any official content that's shared over social media. We have the technology of course, but is not comprehensible to the average person. Twitter will roll out a content verification system, and soon after fake content will manage to pass verification.
Malicious AI-generated fake "news" causing real world incidents will be the main topic of 2023.
Trust in the social media, tech giants and the Internet, for the first time since its inception, has peaked and will be in uneasy waters for a few years. This will reflect the situation of the tech sector as a whole. Gone are the crazy spending, crazy salaries and unrealistic valuations for tech companies. Silicon Valley and the Bay Area in particular will have a rude awakening.
(Please don't reach too much into this. Even though I believe there is a core of truth, I have no crystal ball)

- PufPufPuf 4y agoFor "uncensorability", you might be thinking about other technologies, like Tor or IPFS. web3 is just web with ugly monkeys.
- monkeydreams 4y agoYes but the "proof" of those ugly monkeys will remain on the internet forever, or at least until it remains economically viable to maintain the blockchain.
- lxgr 4y agoMost of the monkey JPEGs aren‘t even stored on the blockchain.

- pasabagi 4y agoDeepfake videos were already used in the recent Brazilian elections. The side that used them (Bolsanaro) lost, so I'm not sure how effective they were. I think the media domain is already so polarized and misleading that presenting people with fully synthetic 'facts' is probably a difference of degree, rather than kind, from what the media already does.
- epistemer 4y agoI almost think it will be the opposite with deepfakes becoming so ubiquitous that there will be a real event that people will believe to be fake. That seems like a bigger issue to me.
