People dismiss stuff like this too easily, IMO. 'It's obviously fake!' or similar - but this is a Model T compared to the supercar of tomorrow. It WILL get better, fast and when we can't rely on our senses that have been honed over millennia to tell us the difference between reality and fiction we have a serious problem. When everything can be faked then no news can be trustworthy. Our personal spheres of reliable information will shrink to things we experience first hand and that is a massive step backwards for us as a civilization.

I don't think that is the problem. The problem is that people will believe anything that reinforces what they already believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,590 #6 April 17, 2018 yoink When everything can be faked then no news can be trustworthy. My concern is that over the past several years, at least half a dozen drivers who tried to kill me when I was cycling/motorcycling, have gotten traffic tickets when I filed complaints, complete with video of their actions. One of those idiots actually tried to convince the cop that I had faked the video.I fear the era of video evidence will come to an end."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
