We can no longer trust archival footage ever again.

      Let’s just get off the internet and trust the grass underneath our feet.

    2. Honestly… by the end of the video I was expecting him to say that he was ai too

    3. Yeah, pretty much everyone who was paying attention realized this was coming about twenty years ago.

      I’ve literally lost trust in everything I’m always questioning if something is ai.

      It makes me wonder if governments have had advanced AI for a while now and us peasants just started getting it. Like how many years ahead of us are they technologically?

      The last point is the most notable to me. I don’t know how evidence will be able to hold up in court any more since video can be so easily manufactured. What will evidence have to look like to prove someone is guilty when virtually everything but hard physical evidence can be manufactured? This technology is advancing far faster than we’re preparing for it and very little of that is in the true public interest.

      The Last point he made is terrifying. Just remembering how there was recently a court case where a man murdered someone, and the family of the victim made an AI video of the murdered person where they “spoke their peace” to the judge and to the murderer. It sounded like typical “In another life, we could have ended up friends.” type of thing.

      This was not a convincing AI video either. Just used a portrait of the man and moved his mouth to the words. But used his voice.

      The family said they made it and said that this is what the deceased would have said if he were still alive.

      The judge got emotional over the AI video and ended up sentencing the murderer to more time than he was initially going to give.

      Honestly it’s already to the point where I can get tricked if I don’t know better when it comes to the subject or person being impersonated, its so real looking, scams in the future with our parents will be spooky and myself

    9. Apart from spreading false information, the rich and powerful can also just getaway now by claiming proofs against them are also Ai.

    10. This is what will kill off 99% of the internet. If you can’t trust what you can see, then what’s the point in seeing anything, other than of course, for pure movie type entertainment. 

    11. Welp. Good thing I’m a ludite and already going back to watching DVDs and reading old books. Come back to VHS with us kids, it’s a bloody nightmare to tamper with that, and everyone who knew how is dead.

      Too bad people have thrown most of that tech in the landfill because we really need it back right now.

      Off to see how much a cabin in the woods costs and to call A&E. Oh right, the woods will probably burn down because a 20 year old wanted to play chicken with some fireworks for a Tiktok challenge.

      Anyone got a barge I can live on? I’d say yacht I can steal but orcas are all over those. And by the time AI is done there’ll be no water to worry about. At least we’ll see the bottom of the ocean and what’s down there before we’re all executed by firing squad.

      So fun. Thanks technology, you’re keeping us alive longer but a lot of us clearly shouldn’t be.

    12. The internet as I knew it died when AI came out. I’ve been downloading everything I can before it’s too late.
