Any journalist trying to pass a fake video as news should be called to a civil or criminal court, same as medical malpractices
Comment on The Daily Wire is now trying to pass off AI slop as actual footage from Palestine.

Expect more and more in the years to come
In about a year a quarter of the reports everywhere will be like this
In about two years, there will be entire programs devoted to whether or not videos, speeches or images are real or not … and it will just get harder and harder to decided what is real and what isn’t
In about five years, no one in the public will be sure what is real and what isn’t on the internet, in the news, on social media or any where.

I’m gonna hazard a guess that you are right about the trend, give or take on the time. However, there will be someone that claims some authority on what is and isn’t accurate.
Its been the job of journalists up until now, but this how they’ll finally supplant all of news media with their own (a golden Trump head of truth next to the post means grok has looked it over and says its real).
That or an open-source tool will be developed to detect ai media, and we are able to run it locally to confirm. This is my preferred outcome. Maybe I need to start doing some reading.

I’m sort of surprised people haven’t started to implement some hidden visual verification in their broadcasts. So they can prove that deepfakes aren’t real.

This seems pretty inevitable, since it should really be journalism in particular that exposes and names such wrongdoings.
In a democracy, it theoretically has an important corrective function, but independent investigative journalism is already virtually non-existent (too expensive), and so in practice it is becoming increasingly unlikely that abuses will be remedied and those responsible prosecuted.
This leads to a situation that is already reality in the US, where serious journalism has already been largely replaced by mindless entertainment or even propaganda - I also think it’s only going to get worse.

Swedish public service actually already has a program where you can send in… Anything I guess… And if they get enough requests they’ll investigate it
