Nah. Satire was always safe when it's not pretending to have documented evidence of the thing actually happening. Two recent headlines: * Biden Urges Americans Not To Let Dangerous Online Rhetoric Humanize Palestinians [1] * Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack Nato allies who pay too little [2] Do you really think, if you jumped back a few years, you could have known which was satire and which wasn't? The fact that we have video evidence of the second is (part) of how we know it's true. Sure, we could also trust the reporters who were there, but that doesn't lend itself to immediate verification by someone who sees the headline on their Facebook feed. If the first had an accompanying AI video, do you think it would be believed by some people who are willing to believe the worst of Biden? Sure, especially in a timeline where the second headline is true. 1. https://www.theonion.com/biden-urges-americans-not-to-let-dangerous-online-rheto-1850941897 https://www.theonion.com/biden-urges-americans-not-to-let-da... 2. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/11/donald-trump-says-he-would-encourage-russia-to-attack-nato-countries-who-dont-pay-bills https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/11/donald-trump...
