People will adapt pretty fast and will stop trusting videos
- jprete 3y agoYou mean like they stopped trusting the Internet, or YouTube videos, or newspapers, or old broadcast TV news? Except they didn't, because it's impossible to live life successfully without information sources beyond one's eyes and ears. That's why this technology should not exist.
- bigyikes 3y agouhhh… i would respond differently to your rhetorical question… there’s never been greater distrust of legacy media, and the fact that you can’t trust everything you read on the internet has been a trope for decades
- jprete 3y agoGood point.
- Nathanba 3y agoMaybe it's a useful thing to ponder why faked photoshopped pictures were never a big problem in human life. I think maybe it's because we use a lot of pictures in our lives, sure. But ultimately we have so much context that a fake would be easy to detect and therefore irrelevant. At most people used photoshop to alter images of documents.
- dorkwood 3y agoBecoming good enough at Photoshop to do a convincing face swap was something that took a lot of time and skill. Not everyone with a copy of Photoshop had the ability to create a compromising photo of a politician, for example.
- nurumaik 3y agoShould written language not exist as well? We can never say for sure that the words are true
- hackerlight 3y ago> stop trusting Yeah, that's a problem. Successful societies are built on trust, shared reality and communication. Democracy is a conversation. The big problem with technology is you can't uninvent technologies that turn out to be net bad. It becomes a perpetual curse once it's invented.
