AI "art" removes the hurdle for the wealthy of actually having talent to produce "art", while simultaneously removing the artist's ability to produce wealth from their talents.

Everytime someone shares an AI generated video, song, picture, etc., I cringe a little. Its just not good, or at best, anything that couldn't be produced by a reasonably capable artist, but hey at least its free, right?

You can reliably quickly tell if a news source is credible depending on how many appeals to emotion and superfluous adjectives/descriptors are found in their articles.

A lot of it is about parsing multiple sources, and extrapolating the data from the spin.

Israel has killed approximately FIVE TIMES as many kids under the age of ten alone than the entire Israeli casualty count from Oct 7.

This is not defense, its extermination. I have no idea how anyone can look at the data and take it any other way.

No, I'm pretty sure its the indiscriminate bombing of children overseas that'll do it.

Its actually insane how hard the US clings to the death penalty.

I guess you're right. Might as well give up now, put zero effort into making anything better, and simply wallow in my own smug pessimism.

People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as "news" are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.

People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.

  • Who wants me to be reading this?
  • What emotions (if any) is this trying to ellicit?
  • What objective information can be taken from this story?
  • What are the sources for that objective information? Are they reliable?

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they'll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.

However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias...

Weird that AI isnt replacing things like management, CEOs, stock investors, accountants... you know, jobs that tend to be about numbers and efficiency, which you would think AI would excel at.

Instead, we have it skirting copyright by stealing other people works and changing it just enough to not be a direct copy.

I recommend you touch grass. Valuing yourself by imaginary internet points is not going to do you any good.
