  No, they’re saying it would be really easy to create a fake image that would have in the past had that level of impact.

    Or alternatively, to alter images to minimize the impact of events that should, by calling their authenticity into question.

    I don’t see how that would make a difference from pre-AI? It’s just bad actors doing their best to upset the world. They will make use of all and every tool they can to help them reach their goals, no matter the consequences. That has been true since the dawn of humanity and will be true until it’s fall next week.

      Oh, of course, it’s just their tools have gotten much better. You could have said what you just did about the internet too, and it’d also be correct, but it definitely had a big impact.

      it’s faster. the fakes can get out there at virtually the same time as the “real” images. any story that may have built is already in dispute before it became a thing. and whimpers away. before if it took a day to get a convincing fake out people would be suspicious

      Fair, I should have said “for a bad actor”, of which I am not. I haven’t experience with the tools they’d use.

  Tank man, as in the guy who held up a few tanks, climbed on them, then walked away was the cause of global trade relation breakdown?

  Or were you referring to something else that was televised and can you link to it?

      They murdered thousands of people in cities across China. Footage and imagery are very easily accessible all over the internet

      Point me to a few!

      you’re also arguing that there was no trade degredation between China and other nations after 1989?

      Definitely not, just the cause
