Personally I love this new AI voice content booms. My favorite is the AI presidents discussing/playing/rating stuff [1], Attenborough narrating warhammer [2]. While slightly silly, I think in future people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up. Which I think is a good trend. People getting depressed or so consumed by the internet culture that they loose all interest in th…

People have always made shit up on the internet. Even prior to Photoshop, the first rule of the net is don't trust anything you read.

boomer parents told this to their millennial children. then the boomers started believing everything they read on facebook despite the millennial warnings. now everybody needs a warning not to believe what they read on the AI.

>We might be just going back to the time of early, anonymous internet forums time where most people used to it just didn't take it too seriously, and a lot of communities were closed /invite only.

What would prevent that some of those people use AI, even if it's invitation-only forum/whatever? I just don't think the "old internet" can come back anymore. If anything, maybe in-person activities may get increasingly popular.

The old boys club which has been outsourcing programmer for 20 years to India figured out that they can just fake it since nobody has complained yet.

And before software engineers unionize they came up with some snake oil to put us in our place, maybe try to force us back into offices, or just eliminate us.

Nobody can deny that Sam Altman and Bill Gates have been trying to "reduce costs" for a long time. The startups with devs in portugal, costa rica, Mexico, Spain, the Ukraine, India, China, anyplace where they can pay 5 dollars for a day's work.

When Bill gates said he would pay programmers 7 dollars an hour, we were all offended, we didn't realize that he was already doing it and that would be a significant raise in pay.

The suicide cults of the '90s say otherwise and have a lot in common with the ivermectin overdoses following people old enough to know better doing stupid stuff they read about on the internet.

The AI Joe Rogan might deny it. Also waffles are space aliens and the moon is flat.

There is a need for a solution to this problem -- something like public / private key encryption or "more advanced social security" number to verify authenticity of a source via digital signature. There is a business to be made there.

I think you’d like a blog post I wrote in November where I put forward an outline of what such a system would look like:

https://lukas.dev/posts/how-to-trust-again/

Digital signatures, media verification, authenticity and more are all covered!

Yeah it's not that concerning to me. At some point people realized that any photo could be photoshopped and started defaulting to that belief if something seemed off. That is starting to happen with video and audio.

There will always be people saying how crazy that photo of bigfoot is and how that video of aliens is proof but most people will eventually start to realize just about anything you see online might be doctored.

I think it’s a boon for privacy. If fake images/videos/sound can easily be generated indistinguishable from actual footage, if there’s something embarrassing out there you can quite legitimately just claim it’s an AI hit piece by a hater.

LOL. Uhuh.

Go read up on the raft of cognitive biases that humans are subject to.

People won't take the internet less seriously, they'll just keep doing what they do now: only believe the stuff that confirms what they already think. The only difference is the tsunami of fake information will make it impossible for even well-meaning people to be able to tell the difference between truth and lies.

Back in 2016 folks coined the idea that we were transitioning to a post-truth era:

We're now transitioning to a post-fact era.

Buckle up. It's gonna be interesting...
