Brace yourself: You will soon need to wonder if what you see — not just what you read — is real across every social media platform.

Why it matters: Open AI and other creators of artificial intelligence technologies are close to releasing tools that make the easy — almost magical — creation of fake videos ubiquitous.

It's astonishing how quickly the golden age of information is turning to the dark age of misinformation.

It's time to start making personal copies of useful information before everything gets censored and paywalled.

Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of Open AI, told us: "This is an important near-term risk for the industry to address. We need a combination of responsible model deployment and public awareness."

  • "We also need continued collaboration across the AI industry, including with distribution channels like social media," he added.

But not regulation! We definitely can't have any real accountability for the people making the software and making it available to the public. They'll just have to be responsible and when, inevitably, they make zero effort to be responsible it's on the public to be aware. And if they're not, well, I guess that's just their fault and they should have done better.

Gotta love the shamelessness of the completely untrustworthy scumbags behind public-facing ANN tools right now. This is going to end so well.
