Realistic AI video generation will put us firmly in a post-truth era. If those videos were 25% more realistic it would be indistinguishable from a real interview.

The speed with which you’ll be able to create and disseminate propaganda is mind blowing. Imagine what a 3 letter agency could do with their level of resources.

Verifiable authenticity might just be the next big thing.

People don’t want authenticity. They want confirmation of what they already think.

People want authentic confirmation of what they already think, which makes it easy to give them the confirmation and lie to them about the authenticity.

If they can't have both, some people prefer confirmation to authenticity. But that's far from a universal preference.
