But for nearly all of us, nearly all the time, what we're being fed is digital information, and in this brave new world, there's very little way to vet these reports and images. I'm not saying they're not happening. I'm not much for sticking my head in the sand. I'm saying AI is making it impossible to trust what I'm being fed. I look at the discussion of Renee Good *right here*, and see people arguing over what "their own eyes" are telling them. I've seen impressive protest photos that on very close inspection Are Not Real. While I'm not a denier, I also don't want to jump at dog whistles from my own side of the aisle.
