You can still trust what you can see with your own two eyes. You can't trust videos or photos of things. Computer image/video editors (e.g. Photoshop, AfterEffects) have made photos & videos untrustworthy for years if a skilled editor made the modifications, and before that some darkroom tricks could do a reasonable job. The new AIs make it cheaper & easier to fake photos and videos.
- rcarr 4y agoGood point. You can’t trust anything you see on a screen anymore. Although even your eyes can deceive you in the real world occasionally.
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoYes, optical illusions do exist. They're not particularly useful for the sorts of deceptions that edited media can produce though, so they're not much of a threat.
- rcarr 4y agoI wasn’t really talking optical illusions but more something along the lines of the film vantage point or just detective work in general. A lot of people can recall the same event and be telling it faithfully to what they saw and remember but the actual truth of what happened can be something entirely different to their own individual perception. I suppose something like saying you saw someone murder someone with a gun and then run off, when if you’d have seen it from another angle then you would have seen the guy was acting in self defence because he was about to get stabbed or something like that
