    I’m not talking about evidence, i’m talking about fundamendal being able to trust anything digital at all in any context. What if you couldnt be sure if phonecall from your friend was actually from your friend or if you cant be sure about any picture shown to you if its actually about some real thing.

    Things you need to be able to trust in daily life dont have to be court-level evidence. That is what abuse of ai will take from us.

      It’s the exact same thing. You’re drawing a distinction between two identical things.

      Pictures have not been credible for a long time. You shouldn’t have “trusted” a picture for anything 5 years ago.

      The only thing that’s in any way different is that now you know you can’t trust it.

        I suppose the conclusion is that we need better ways to verify things

          The conclusion is to learn to be comfortable with uncertainty.

          The world is inherently uncertain, all the way down to the possibility of measuring subatomic particles.
