I notice it on Facebook mostly. One after the other of fake AI videos and story lines. I think there are fake history stories thrown in there.
It is mostly noticeable with large wild animal fakes.
Here's the reality.
Some AI videos and pictures, are obvious to everyone. Others are obvious only to those with a little knowledge. Then there are those that look very convincing and fool most everyone.
As time goes on, the latter instance will happen increasingly often. In fact, there is a very good chance you've seen a picture or video in the last month that was fake, and you never picked up on it. This is a large part of why I constantly pour disdain on Social Media. The platforms themselves don't care, and do nothing to control the content on their platforms.
Then there are those who rage bait. So for example, there is an ongoing debate around Food Stamps in the US and how they are used. I've watched a bunch of videos on it, and with a tiny bit of checking, at least 40% of what I saw wasn't people who are on Food Stamps, but instead were Tik-Tok accounts run by rage baiters - people looking to say and do things to get clicks and subscribers, even though none of it was real.
To go to another level, I watched a video last night about a strategic attack from Ukraine in a Russian convoy. It alleged that China has shipped a specific missile type and that the shipment had been intercepted. It was 20 minutes long, with lots of footage. Except - it was 100% fake. Those particular missiles never existed. They were never intercepted, and China had not provided them. Yet the comments were full of people praising Ukraine.
In other words, our ability to tell AI from real world is ever narrowing.
