Clarification:
Judging by the fact that AI progress will never stop and will eventually be able to replace truth with fiction, it will become impossible to trust any article, and even if it is possible, not all of them, and we won’t even be able to tell exactly what’s true and what’s fiction.
So, what if people from different countries and regions exchanged contacts here and talked about what’s really happening in their countries, what laws are being passed, etc., and also shared their well-thought-out theories and thoughts?
If my idea works, why not sober up as many people as possible that only similar methods will be able to distinguish reality from falsehood in the future?
I’m also interested in your ideas, as I’m not much of an expert.
At different points in the past, we thought novels, newspapers, radio, television, and the internet would be the end of truth. Truth is still around. We develop systems to sieve through the bullshit. In terms of slop, I don’t think anyone can say for sure how we will deal with it. But if past experience is anything to go by, it will rely on reputation. You trust a certain news source because they have been reliable, so they have a reputation they don’t want to lose. And that keeps them honest or you move on. We will find a way to deal with slop as well that will be based on reputation. In addition to laws and regulations that are yet to be written.
Whether it’s news rooms or TikTubers or something completely new that will gain this reputation, eff knows. But we will get there.
It’s better to be prepared for the unexpected.
I agree. And I think your idea of personal exchanges is something we should try. All I’m saying is that it’s too early for anyone to have a well thought through, working solution.
