Wait. You mean if you read it on the Internet, it might not be true?? People will have to apply critical judgment to what they view/read/hear? We're so doomed.
I think it's pretty clear at this point we will need some mechanism of confirming the veracity of media online. Unless we can reliably detect AI-generated images and videos we will need something like a chain-of-custody for media, but I'm sure that will bring it's own challenges and issues with a lack of openness.
I have a big issue at my agency where fake gmail accounts are using AI writing to email real current and former customers (found via linkedin) and pretending to be us. Some folks have been scammed unfortunately. We have reported the gmail account to Google but it was not taken down. We also warned all customers via email ourselves.
After looking up how to wire a replacement doorbell transformer and seeing a 2-conductor cable (black and white) labeled "3 wire cable", and the replacement item labeled "AC/DC transformer", I've begun checking dates on every how-to and DIY article. Before 2023? Probably good. After 2024? Be very suspicious.
