maybe im just stupid and not thinking hard enough about it but i don't really understand why people are up in arms about how ai-generated art is going to make it easier to spread misinformation when it's already effortless to spread misinformation. you don't even need to be skilled at image manipulation or anything you can post a pic of whatever the fuck and claim it's something else and get enough traction for it to reach masses of people who dont bother fact checking shit. lying online is easy and people have been doing it for as long as the internet has been around we are aware of this yeah

#the only thing i can think of is video/audio deepfakes but i can't imagine those are impossible to refute Who Knows not me clearly #and it's not like real video/audio can't be clipped and taken out of context #this is reminding me the other day i saw mention of TikTok Teens thinking there was real beef between two celebrities because of a deepfake #and it reminded me of this gifset i saw on here in the early 2010s of two celebs captioned like they were insulting each other in separate #interviews idk if it was purposefully misleading as a joke or an rp or what but people thought it was real lol #i guess my thought is basically the tools used to bullshit matter less than the ease with which people accept the bullshit #i do realize what a complete fucking douche i sound like to be clear
