>A proliferation of extremely high-quality fakes will educate the public about detecting fakes, and spark an increase in the value of the real. The search cost for the truth is astronomical and most people are already either unwilling or unable to pay it, so we go off heuristics most of the time. Our bandwidth is already saturated. The generation bandwidth of BS has had an order of magnitude increase. The best outcome I can envision for the education on detecting fakes is that we come to the conclusion "there are so many of them now" and "they are so hard to detect" followed by a sad face emoji.
