    I’m not convinced that the group of people who are already skeptical of the veracity of the non-AI content they see on social media are going to suddenly start believing that short form videos are reflecting reality simply because an AI made it instead of a human. The current problem with misinformation isn’t that it’s “too poorly animated”.

    EDIT: I should say if and when CNN starts generating realistic AI videos claiming they are reality, then we have a problem. But anyone skeptical of randomdude69’s Tweets is not going to start believing them “because AI”.

      Okay well that’s not the group I’m talking about. I’m talking about the general public.

      The overwhelming majority of disinformation is not being distributed by CNN. It’s being distributed by “influencers”. AKA nobodies who have no qualifications but speak authoritatively and people believe them.
