Before photography, we knew something was truthful because someone trustworthy vouched for it.
Now that photos and videos can be faked, we'll have to go back to the older system.
- ekianjo 8mo agoIt was always easy to fake photos too. Just organize the scene, or selectively frame what you want. There is no such thing as any piece of media you can trust.
- bandrami 8mo agoThe construction workers having lunch on the girder in that famous photo were in fact about four feet above a safety platform; it's a masterpiece of framing and cropping. (Ironically the photographer was standing on a girder out over a hundred stories of nothing).
- wiz21c 8mo agoAlthough I do use the dead internet, I didn't see much of "fake news" like that...
- expedition32 8mo agoAh yes the good old days of witch trials and pogroms. I am no big fan of AI but misinformation is a tale as old as time.
- KPGv2 8mo agoYeah this is what I always expected to happen. Cryptographic signing of source material so you can verify who the initial claimant is, and base credibility on the identity of that person.
