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.

Content authenticity follows from the source's credibility. This is why chains of evidence are crucial. If squinting at pixels were the harbinger of a post-truth reality, then it's already many decades late.

That's what we have now where people flat out refuse to believe something unless it's being reported by their news source of choice. Only the sources people trust as true aren't aligned with actually being true.
