Bad humans are prompting these AI engines. Still gotta fix that. You know, root of the problem. I can tell you as an older human, misinformation has been supercharged every election. But yeah let’s blame AI this time around so we don’t have to figure out the tough problem.
The problem isn't the misinformation itself, it's the rate at which misinformation is produced. Generative models lower the barrier to entry so anyone in their living room somewhere can make deepfakes of your favourite politician. The blame isn't on AI for creating misinformation, it's for making the situation worse.
