You see the same panic about 3D printed guns. It’s not that difficult to make a gun at home, but 3D printers makes it slightly more trivial.
Comment on A.I. Video Generators Are Now So Good You Can No Longer Trust Your Eyes

Someone doesn’t know what mockumentary or docufiction is. There were lots of fake videos way before AI. This is just amplification because of better accessibility.

It’s the accessibility and scale that’s scary now. Anyone will be able to make convincing fakes of anything from their couch during an ad break on TV. The internet will be essentially useless for getting any useful information because the garbage will outnumber everything else by a million to one.

Commercial web over the years is slowly transforming from education and news into video entertainment platform, this is just next step. I hope AI slop will accelerate transition towards decentralized federated trust ring networks. I also hope it will destroy or at least largely damage current internet / cloud monopolies - google / meta / amazon / microsoft. Maybe public knowledge will be harmed but people will always find the way to pass information without slop.
