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.

Why wouldn't the solution be just check the canonical source for the content? IE go to joe rogan's spotify page and see if the content is linked there.

I don't think the top concern is verifying the authenticity of Joe Rogan podcasts. This is just an example.

I think what gives it away is when answering questions, chat GPT first repeats the question. For example the question is: "If you were to be found in a small blue room with your favorite food, what would you do?". The answer would start with: "if I were found in a small blue room with my favorite food I would..." Normal people don't usually talk like that.

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…

I agree that without massive safeguards, it is only going to become harder to discern between fact and fiction. The problem is that people must be able to discern between fact and fiction in order to live healthy lives. Reacting to AI by becoming laissez-faire about your information intake is just one more way for people to disconnect from reality.

I think a good analogy is how technological advances made forging physical currency trivially easy. Governments that deployed anti-forgery measures eventually weathered the storm. Governments that didn't ended up with catastrophically weak currencies. Information and data are the ultimate currency on the Internet.

> I think in future people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up I've been starting to think this way as well. It feels like we're seeing something similar to the way that mass spam calls drastically changed the way people use the phones to the point where people don't recognize a phone number, they just don't pick up anymore. As the ratio of garbage goes up, people will…

This is the path I've been going down as well and frankly, I think that's pretty exciting.

This might be wishful thinking, but I'm coming to believe that AI like ChatGPT are capable of bringing out the absolutely worst qualities of massive social media sites and in that way might end up saving us from ourselves.

After listening to this, I feel annoyed at the folks in the "AI clones teen girl’s voice in $1M kidnapping scam: ‘I’ve got your daughter’" thread that was on the front page yesterday saying "ppfftt bullshit you'd need to be an idiot to fall for an AI voice" - Guess I'm an idiot. Like it or not, generative media is getting better and better by the day.

> I think in future people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up. Neal Stephenson goes into this topic with some depth in his 2019 novel "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell". Through his narrative he argues against the notion that any amount of false information on the internet will lead to people not trusting the internet. Photography at large has been grappling with this same issu…

> a more local, trust-less internet like we had in the 90s and early 00s

I don't recognize this description of the Internet from any time after 1985 onward.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

AI researchers and companies need to starting asking themselves: just because we can does it mean we should? The societal implications and risks of this technology are enormous. This could lead to an erosion of publc trust in audio and video evidence. Imagine someone creating something that gives dangerous medical advice using Fauci's likeness? Or giving the worst politicians an excuse to say that something they actu…

While I agree with you, this is wishful thinking. We need regulations before things get out of hand.

Yep. And that time is right now. Things are already getting out of hand, very quickly. Can we stop the ride? I'd like to get off.
