When an audio clip appeared to show a local school principal making derogatory comments, it went viral online, sparked death threats against the educator and sent ripples through a suburb outside the city of Baltimore.

But it was soon exposed as a fake, manipulated by artificial intelligence - so why do people still believe it’s real?

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

😆

@ecksmc I noticed people on YT who don't like a certain song because a singer/band they don't like performs it, but when the song is generated via AI featuring their fav band/singer suddenly it's a phenominal song - thus ruining the REAL song reputation! Another reason I do not like AI, but I get it, many things incorporate AI in our daily lives whether we realize it or not...

@duglop indeed there is a valid use for AI no doubt and it can be a very handy tool

Unfortunately, like most things, it can he used for bad and its more the bad use cases that get headlines

Im not a hater of AI, and i do use it and started using it more and more, its not going away
