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.

While manipulation of photos exist, and real photos misattributed are very common, for the most part a lot of that does happen as well. And some people are too quick to ignore or gloss over it

I'm sure this will be exactly the popular attitude - yes, the evidence and videos people see and form emotional reactions based on are fake, but the problem is real and so we should let it slide and just assume something exactly like the AI video happened anyway.
