    It will make it far too easy to prepare fake videos, false personalities on social media and falsified “everything” and then some bad actors will use that to convince our tiny humans minds to destroy each other and ourselves.

    Basically you will see videos that look real but are faked and designed to outrage. Suddenly every conspiracy theory will have real looking videos.

    One group will release a video of George Floyd where the cop was also molesting him, and the other group will release a video where George Floyd was holding a knife to the throat of a 9 year old girl, necessitating his death.

    The protests and outrage will tear society apart, as we complete our journey into the post truth era.

    There will no longer be any “truth” to be had.

      So this isn’t a problem with AI, it’s a problem with humans.

      I myself welcome the era where digital evidence is no longer valid in court, as it can be falsified in seconds.

        It won’t work like that.

        It’ll go by trusted sources, and since the police are considered a “trusted source” (though they probably shouldn’t be)

        It’ll work like witnesses and hearsay. It can be used to convict you but not to exonerate you.
