Anybody else a bit scared for how this tech will impact people? It seems quite far reaching. Job loss from video production and film. Ease of spreading misinformation, lies and propaganda. I could even see less investment in physical infrastructure as real world experiences get replaced by generated video. Scary stuff.
If you want to look at it from a brighter side, I think it's great that this tech exists and people know about it in large and how easy it is to fabricate false information with this.
If I was very optimistic, I'd hope that people would question more what they see and hear and read to due to widespread of "Gen AI tools".
In reality that will most likely not happen, but yeah, one can hope.
And on job loss: Jobs come and go, nobody cared much about carriage drivers when cars took off...
