Damn, people have described modernity as the beginning of “the post-truth era” but I guess I finally have to admit it’s here. Granted, if AI images are being used to spread agendas on social media, I’m sad to admit I don’t think that agenda-spreaders really need to go through all that effort. You can get half the world to believe what you want just by saying it in a snappy way and sticking the words on a picture of the Minions.
hell, even very online people will regularly fall for fake quotes/social media posts, the kind of stuff it takes 10 seconds to verify with Google. how do you verify something like this? especially if it's regime-supported propaganda?
You see it all the time in the news. How often some hit piece's sole source is an "anonymous source" or some unnamed "expert says".
AI generated images are just an evolution of existing propaganda. Instead of staging actors with makeup, they can now just use an AI. The horrifying part is how discreet it allows things to be. One of the drawbacks to faking things in the past is that the more people involved, the more likely someone is to spill the beans. With AI, very few humans need to be in the loop. It's the same perk as automating any other tasks, removing human error.

Religion is a joke.
We are all pawns, controlled by something greater:
Memes.
Nanomachines son.
Man may be a weird gaming artist. But damn if he doesn't but big real ideas into his military espionage simulations.
