I think the information age is about to collapse

With AI generating realistic fake content (videos, articles, etc.) we won't know what's real and what's not anymore, online or on tv. Which means the internet will be for entertainment only. We'll have no idea what's going on in the world. We'll be back to the days before the printing press where most news was word of mouth since even if we went back to newspapers that could be generated by AI. I think the Second Dark Age is coming and this time with nukes.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    • Yeah, I'm not concerned at all about AI but people calling people bots/conspiracy theorists/Russians/bigots etc for calling a fake video fake is a real possibility.

  • Yes. AI, and counter-AI will be at cyber war with each other. The internet will become the backdrop for Darwinian selection of the fittest AI bots.

    Can this process form a useful cyber ecosystem? Perhaps the aliens know the answer.

  • or maybe you're just overthinking it, like all the people back in the y2k incident, maybe nothing will change at all, if people wanted to fake it they could have done it before AI came out! Sure it's much easier but it wasn't impossible before!

  • This doesn't even make any sense. There's already an issue with misinformation and fake shit on the internet.

  • Eh maybe the internet will become even more layered than before. Now you got the non AI centered net that most people use. The dark web that's the territory for smugglers and ai, and the true abstract internet ocean that will harbor the next ai uprising.

  • It's already unbelievable without AI. If you are getting your news and information from the internet or TV, and your not questioning it you're already being filled full of BS.
    Do your own research, yes you can use the internet but seek out opposite points of view. Once you have both extreme view you can just about come to the conclusion that the real truth is somewhere in the middle or maybe not even being addressed.
    AI just going to make it worse if that's possible.
