I used to be excited about it, especially the image generation AI.

I believe that the internet has already lost a lot of authenticity in general. The amount of misinformation boomers and gen X lap up on their socials is unreal.

Having advanced image/video AI that would force people to call everything into question, to double check and to fact check sounded good. Except, people aren't fact checking.
