> Some PM in Youtube: “ yes let’s make it harder to tell real videos from AI to make people who don’t know better more susceptible and accepting of it”

This can backfire, perhaps making people believe that real, important news is in reality AI-generated to brainwash them, thus making people less susceptible, and more disbelieving.

The whole point is to make people believe in nothing. When all news is fake, no news matter.

This does not change my point that this is a dangerous game to play: if people believe in nothing, they will also not believe in what "those in power" or the government wants them to believe. People who have no trust in such entities have a lower "emotional barrier" to overcome to turn against such entities.

I have no doubt that will happen. And bad actors will definitely try to use “it was AI” to discredit real things they’ve done. Musk as already tried to pull that stunt.
