The way things are heading soon we won't trust anything - all *things* will be deemed AI generated and even the real stuff will be deemed AI generated which has already begun in certain circles

It's a way to avoid truth - "thats AI"

Its a way to avoid ignorance - "that's AI"

It's a way to stop believing - "that's AI"

Its a way to be more outraged - "thats AI"

It's all AI nothing is real anymore nothing.... Unless it fits a narrative

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit go to a clinic to donate blood.
The nurse asks the rabbit “what blood type are you?”
The rabbit answers “I’m probably a Type O.”
