Comment on The phrase "Pics or it didn't happen" is largely meaningless now that AI is a thing.

Because images and video were definitive proof at one point, but even before AI, they can be altered with image software.

Very true. It’s the immediacy of it that struck me this morning.
If I make a post telling you that I met Elvis Presley as an old man and you respond with “Pics or it didn’t happen”. I can literally post a reply to you within a couple of minutes (If I knew where to go) of me meeting an elderly Elvis Presley. Whereas before I’d have to put some effort into it, and then respond a day later with my finished photoshop creation. The immediacy lends it credibility in the way that traditional photo manipulation didn’t.
