I don't think it will be so bad.
All Internet comment sections, pictures, video, and really anything on electronic screens will become assumed false by default.
Therefore the only use of the Internet and most technology capable of generating audio and video will be entertainment.
I already distrust-by-default most of what is online that isn't hard reference material, even if not AI generated.

- ModernMech 3y agoBut they're organizing online. That's the thing. When it was just the Jonestown cult or the Waco terrorists, that was at least localized. But now they're able to use the Internet to whip up 10k people to assault the Capitol when they don't get their way. That's a real problem.
