Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image

I think we’re just getting started, with fake images and videos.

I suspect that people will be killed, because of outrage over fake stuff. Before the Ukraine invasion, some of the folks in Donbas made a fake bomb, complete with corpses from a morgue (with autopsy scars)[0]. That didn’t require any AI at all.

We can expect videos of unpopular minorities, doing horrible things, politicians saying stuff they never said, and evidence submitted to trial, that was completely made from whole cloth.

It’s gonna suck.

> We can expect videos of unpopular minorities, doing horrible things

Expect? You can post a random image of an unpopular minority, add some caption saying they did horrible things, that is not reflected in the image at all, and tons of people will pile on. Don’t even need a fake video.

In fact, this is already happening on a daily basis.

IA ain't the problem here, so called social media are.

It was not happening on a daily basis on Twitter before Elon Musk. The endless flow of racism and bigotry on that website is a choice.

It's convenient to blame the amorphous thing "social media" instead of the actual people responsible. There are only a handful of them: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, etc.

And stopping it is simple. It's a choice.
