... AI people? I see ads like this on FB.

It has become impossible to tell the difference between what is real and what is a digital AI creation.

My mother watches a lot of YouTube stuff on her living room TV, and she cannot tell the difference between real and AI. She assumes that everything is real, but I can detect AI stuff a mile away. It is annoying, because lots of people will assume that what these "AI people" are saying is factually correct. Half of the time, it is total rubbish.

I've been saying for years that this would get out of hand, and now it's here. As AI improves and matures it will only get worse, as it will be nearly impossible to tell if something is real or AI generated without being able to use some sophisticated AI recognition software.

My answer to this would be to require the content hosting services, like YouTube and other platforms, to detect AI and inform viewers that the content is likely AI, but good luck with that, as these platforms only care about taking their cut of the money generated by all this word not allowed.

The next answer would be for the government to regulate this and require AI warnings, but again, good luck with that, as the government is all in on building more data centers and expanding AI due to its money-making, and therefore tax-generating, potential.

We're on our own here in this brave new world.

If George Orwell could watch this stuff he'd be thinking that his novels were benign fairy tales.
