> I see no problems here I see differently. You have a news. There is text. Ai generated. There is an image. Ai generated. There is a reference to a convincing study. Ai generated. You try to use your logic textbook to process this. That too is ai generated. What do you base your trust on? Do you distrust everything? How would you know what to take seriously, when ALL could be AI generated.

You ask an Old Person. (Disclosure: Old person). The "old person" could also be a database of human knowledge that was gathered before the singularity.

  Even if this was a reasonable answer, which it is not, it would only work for one human generation after which there are no more people who lived before the AI wave.

    I want to buy a physical Encyclopedia Britannica for just this reason. All our historical records are becoming digitized, and AI can now make convincingly fake history characters, images and video. The actual history is going to get swamped and people will have a very hard time determining if a historic fact actually happened or if it was an AI fever dream.

      > I find this fairly reasonable, albeit slow If you find it fairly reasonable to require finding an old person and physically asking them about things instead of using Google, you're either not serious or just trying to make a point to show you appreciate old people and their wisdom, which while ok, is not a reasonable solution to what is being discussed - at all

    It could be that there will be an increasing premium placed on historic data stores, and that even the AI could end up choking on their own vomit. Someone on another HN thread pointed out to me that (of course) there's already a sci-fi story about this.
