Yes! There’s no ‘element’ of truth.
Funnily enough, this isn’t a philosophical question for me either.
The industrialization of content generation, misinformation, and inauthentic behavior are very problematic.
I’ve hit on an analogy that’s proving very resilient at framing the crossroads we seem to be at - namely the move to fiat money from the gold standard.
The gold standard is easy to understand, and fiat money honestly seems like madness.
This is really similar to what we seem to be doing with genAI, as it vastly outstrips humanity’s capacity to verify.
There’s a few studies out there that show that people have different modes of content consumption. A large chunk of content consumption is for casual purposes, and without any desire to get mired into questions of accuracy. About 10% of the time (some small %, I don’t remember the exact) people care about the content being accurate.
