LLMs already created a trust/truth apocalypse in India in the most recent elections. There are fake videos (or accusations of fake videos!) absolutely flooding WhatsApp. A lot of people there can't tell what's real.

- wkat4242 2y agoLLMs don't make videos. Those are also AI but different tech. But really it's more of a symptom. You can fake stuff with people too. It's just more work. The question is more why the most populous nation lets this happen rather than the tools used to do it.
- smt88 2y agoHow would any nation stop it? And why would you want a nation to have so much control over speech that they could stop all deceptive content? The problem isn't the nation. It's the cheap availability of software that produces lies at enormous, convincing scale. No one says "don't blame the tool" when talking about bombs. AI is a social bomb.
- verdverm 2y agoBombs don't drop themselves, the problem is that people feel the need to maliciously manipulate others. It's not just fake videos either, there are fake personalities whose main purpose is to troll and rage bait so people fight each other instead of the malfeasance behind these activities
