    Get ready for the post-reality Internet. You think deepfake porn is bad? Wait until entire voting blocs are swayed by what AI trash their side puts out during that election cycle. They’ll even be aware that it’s AI fakery and they won’t even care. It’s already begun.

      We need aggressive action against this. Urge every politician you can to make media literacy taught in school. Students must learn how to identify disinformation and propaganda.

            I dont know. Maybe its not fixable. Maybe democracy as we know it cant withstand contact with social media and AI any more than absolute monarchy could survive the printing press. Maybe it will get better on its own, as kids growing up with AI start to spot it the way people today spot CGI.
