    This short popped up in my recommended. It's clearly AI (tinny voice, random jump in scenes in the middle of one of her sentence, very awkward "oh yeah, stop me"), but, unlike older AI videos, virtually nobody in the comments realizes. With how good AI is getting, we'll very probably have actual riots and political conflict breaking out over AI hoaxes and AI-fueled sentiment campaigns (if the WhatsApp lynchings in 2017 are any measure of the lengths people will go). On the other side, citizen journalism of atrocities may come to be worthless and easily dismissed as AI. Society is cooked, as the kids say.

      It looks extremely convincing to me. There are things off about it one you point out it's AI... I'm extremely concerned about where we're at.

    I think longer time between cuts is going to be a marker of authenticity, at least for a while. If it can't go more than a few seconds without a cut, the chances of it being AI go up. In general,...

    I think longer time between cuts is going to be a marker of authenticity, at least for a while. If it can't go more than a few seconds without a cut, the chances of it being AI go up. In general, at least for now, the main challenge of completely AI video is its ability to stay on track and continue to show the same thing without drastic variations. It's a problem that short form video content in general is prone to that choppy editing to get things across quickly, as it plays well with AI's strengths. I don't hold out much hope that people in general will learn, but at least for a while experienced people will be able to see the tells. As people once said: "This looks 'shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few 'shops in my time."

      On a slightly more serious note, people will not learn what they do not want to learn. Back before AI was a thing, during the first term, I have relatives who watched a satire clip of a comedian playing Trump, walking through the "White House" and making dumb comments and hiding tax fraud documents behind the desk in the oval office, all of which looked bad and is funny because satire, and my relatives were convinced it's real. And it's funny. But tax fraud bad? Oh hes joking because you liberals can't take a joke. Is it okay for President to joke about committing tax fraud on camera? See can't take a joke I like him he tells it like it is.

      No AI is needed.

      But on a less depressing note: the adjacent Cambridge thread about prices to buy bot accounts, this content is sponsored by interest groups, and the YouTube comments probably generated by bots as well -- so don't be too upset if it seems like many are duped, probably not as many as we are fearing either.
