If you can’t tell then what’s the problem? If you can what’s the problem?
I have bigger problems with everyday lies that already happen that are treated as “normal”. For example, advertising a price cut as if there’s a discount by raising the everyday price and discounting to the previous everyday price, using celebrities/influencers to promote products, paying for product reviews in some way, etc etc.

- vlovich123 3y agoUmmm… what? Can you point to one major publication that is trying to cover this? Media corporations can control the narrative by controlling who they hire. It’s more expensive but they’ve been doing it for a long time so there’s institutional knowledge. Also, these same companies make their money on advertising so explain to me why you’d trust them to go after their sole remaining revenue stream?
- longbrass 3y agoI can in fact point to the link at the top of this page as one example. Journalist have regularly covered journalism scandals. Can you point to AI that is capable of the same?
