It's a PROBLEM. DeepFake images, even short "videos", now oft refined by AI techniques, are becoming rampant. You CAN'T tell what's real and what's not without access to very refined techniques. I'd predicted this since day one ... and it did NOT take long after that. Both Hamas AND Israel are keen to paint the picture which favors THEM and THEIR official line. Rule of thumb these days ... if it's past 24 hours since some Significant Event - DON'T BELIEVE IT. That was 36 hours just a few years ago, but now .... Absolutely flawless HD pix and 'phone videos' can now be slammed together On Demand. If they look juicy the MSM will beam them around the planet in an instant. Any retractions ... VERY small print, so to speak ... weeks or months later so nobody will notice. So, a bad thing, seeing is NO LONGER believing. So, what's LEFT ??? Can't trust audio, can't trust photos, can't trust "witness testimony", can't trust video. Doesn't leave much, does it ? "News"/"Truth" for the masses appears to be DEAD. This is even worse than what Orwell predicted because it all looks So REAL. Long back I coined the term "DaliVerse". I think we're there now ......... And nothing but bad will result. I included a 'censorship' group for a reason. This is an entirely NEW variant of censorship - an easy way to BURY the Truth, obscure it, make 1000 lies seem just as valid.
