Just like CGI, you only notice it when it’s bad
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
In a few years all pics, movies, music, books, news, anything and anyone you don’t see in person will be completely indistinguishable from AI. And most of it will be.
You won’t even know if the Senator’s face on your tv screen belongs to a real person.
The new front on the “war” for/on your minds will open. A culmination of all physical, informational, cultural, economic, narrative, and digital reality control systems will converge.
Even more so than now, people will have no choice but to embrace whatever schema of reality they can access because there will be no way to discern real truth from the manufactured.
Paranoia will eventually give way to a rather natural “double think” envisioned by Orwell. Tropey but nevertheless prophetic.
Ahh… Survivorship bias, we meet again.
Another reason why I hate AI: you couldn’t trust images on the internet before, but the likelihood someone Photoshopped it in a realistic way was very low. Nowadays you just can’t trust any images on the internet at all, I don’t want to play detective.
