I hate the term "post-truth". As if lying, rumors and disinformation didn't exist before that. I can't count the amount of bullshit I heard on the news before social media was a thing, and fact checking was much harder. There is no "truth world", just an arms race between truth and fakes. AI tools can generate fakes but also detect them. Social media can be used to spread rumors but also cover an event like never before.
