Our society will quickly need to adapt to the idea that seeing a photo of something no longer means it really happened. There are going to be fake videos, fake photos, fake articles, etc.
Rather than burying our heads in the sand and making it illegal to produce those, I think the better long term approach is to teach our children to be skeptical, and to emphasize that we can't believe everything that's shared on the internet.
- autoexec 3y agoSpeaking generally here, but I'd hoped that decades of photoshop would have been enough to inspire some healthy skepticism for pictures and hollywood/instagram filters enough to do it for video. On the plus side, the advancing technology can provide plausible deniability if a genuine intimate photo/video gets leaked, although as long as we're hoping for humanity to evolve a little, maybe we can collectively get a little less prudish about the human body and sex too.

I'm already living in a world where I can't trust what I read. Soon I won't be able to trust what I see or hear online. Face to face interactions will be required for anything important. Not looking forward to this.
