Information has been faked, to varying degrees of success, for as long as humanity has engaged in intrigue. "AI" does not change this, it's still ill-willed humans and trolls at the wheel faking information.
I always roll my eyes at fears of "AI" faking this, creating that, etc.
Whatever "AI" has done or can do, we've already seen much worse from humanity. Been there, done that.
- xnx 3y agoTrue, AI is just the tool and not the perpetrator. Murder has also exist since the dawn of humanity, but a murderer with a stick is very different from one with a fully automatic rifle.
- progmetaldev 3y agoWhile I agree with you, I think the issue is that the tooling is starting to become accessible to anyone, which is going to create a flood of deepfake content. In the past, you usually needed to have a specific set of skills to fake information, and even then experts were able to analyze things like images for distortions or slight alterations that couldn't happen in the natural world. As the technology gets better, and into the hands of people that wouldn't have had access to it previously, only then will we really see if this is going to have any kind of effect.
