Even more worrying are the implications for fakenews, propaganda, fraud, deception and mental health.

This is really my biggest worry when it gets to consumer AI. People already have a hard time informing themselves properly. Now we have technology that just boosts the already existing confirmation bias people have. It's sickening.

Maybe short term yes. But longer term people will finally put their guard up against deception that’s been around for decades.

  People will still believe what they want to believe.

  If they haven’t in the past I don’t see why they would now.

    Next generation is healing already and staying away from social media, etc.

      My generation will be the new fox news boomers, but instead of Fox news it will be ChatGPT and Claude telling them that Israel is the greatest country in the world and if you disagree you must be an antisemite.

        Maybe thats just your bubble. People I know are back to books and encyclopedias.

  At that point their ground truth is completely skewed (already for some folk), everything is relative. Some of them will probably die off in self-induced Darwin award winning ways, but sadly certain skewed world views may persist.

  Counter-point, real incriminating videos will be easy to dismiss. "No that's not me, that's AI"

  That's not how the human mind works. People still get skewed views on body standards even when they know that what they are looking at is biased and/or photoshopped, for example. When an AI fake stirs emotions just right, half the people will not even care about the truth.

  No, it will just become like in the Soviet system - people will not believe anything anymore, and become disillusioned and just not care about anything other than their immediate surroundings. That's what being innundated with fake/exaggerated information results in. People don't know what to believe because they're seeing/hearing everything, and bits will be retained, but in general there will be a "this is too much, I can't keep up, who even knows, shrug".
