Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is a very hard problem, "who is the original author of a string of facts," "is that string of facts sound or was it altered," this is like the end of truth. I know that truth is relative but it's like there's no point in using the word truth anymore. Everything is just becoming a collection of words.

What if an AI-generated picture is a real person?

Wow - unintentional deep-fake. Fantastic point.

Another challenge to our notions of identity, brought on by evolution of technology.

We will need something similar to the Biblical flood to flush everything away. And restart from local trust islands similar to what we had in 80's-90's with BBSs and possibly Fidonet. I don't know how it's going to work but I just don't see any future in Internet in its current commercial form.

Herbert's "Butlerian Jihad" keeps coming to mind; I wonder if something similar lies in our future.

Hopefully, i'm more worried that in the real world there won't be a Serena Butler to lead us
