Another stepping stone to a much worse world. We won't know what is real anymore.

I think it's very cool technology, but in the hands of governments and psyops, it's going to brainwash entire countries.

Want another 9/11? Sure no problem. Blow up a building, tell people you have some random video of what happened, captured by civilians...place evidence in locations where it will be found.

We already don't know what is real. This will only make that clearer.

I think some governments already had tech like this but not all.

It will be interesting to follow this. Probably lots of fake videos on YouTube as a consequence where events are not real but used to stir up aggression.

Maybe, but I doubt it, only because traditional propaganda has been %100 effective without generative AI.
