  For all of human history, the only way to know how an event happened is to either have witnessed it yourself, or heard from someone else. It's only the last 100 years or so that we've been able to record exactly what happened as audio, video, or photography. And still, it's possible to doctor any of these. That's not to mention that you can craft excellent propaganda even by using this "real" recorded media, just by cherrypicking and presenting it in a certain context. I don't think AI generated media is going to a massive sea change in misinformation. edit: downvoters should reply instead
