People don’t have to argue their case or try to prove their conclusions any longer. They find some staged or AI-generated video and offer it as documentary evidence of something that actually happened. It’s really scary. AI only plays into a problem that is already there. The incapacity to tell facts from fiction, anecdotes from a trend, and correlation from causation is experienced by an overwhelming majority of people.
The only way to have democracy and not degenerate into complete nuttiness is to have a society built upon an acceptance of intellectual hierarchy and authority. People who are incapable of understanding that a staged video they saw online does not represent reality should be made constantly aware that they are morons.
Sadly those who are intellectually equipped to bring this point to cross have deprived themselves of all credibility for ideological reasons.
