On reddit people are discussing the very quick cementing of this new truth, where everything can retroactively be waved off as having been AI.
People talk about the loss of certainty on everything ever since AI became a significant factor.
I disagree, it would be pandemonium if everything needs double checking and nothing is real. I think there is an obvious solution:
Make it into law that any official statement is assumed true unless it’s redacted by the subject within a set amount of time.
Make it so people have an appeal window to any news outlet, with heavy consequences for platforms that do not redact.
We cannot be living in psychosis bizzarroland, and if Bibi says he’s alive then take the countries word for it.
Let’s say someone claims with a video that Trump is dead and replaced by a clone. Why would we allow for people to believe in that kind of nonsense which is obviously meant to divide people and turn a lot of them into crazies. If the administration would claim it’s untrue, then that should be published as truth using no uncertain terms: article x was deepfakes
Anyone who claims differently afterwards is perpetuating lies and should be held accountable
“That’s a bad idea because I think it would be hard” You’re presuming that they wouldn’t have to avoid lying as much.
OK, let me put it this way: I set up 50 shell newspapers that push 100 articles per day along the line of “Politician A is a reptilian”, “Government Y is hiding aliens”, etc. Do you really think it is productive work for an administration to a) find these statements, b) research the validity (after all an otherwise unknown agency could really be hiding aliens), c) rebute or confirm the statement and d) enforce the rebuttal?
