There's a lot of content on YouTube with voice generated narration. For example, if you look at Douglas MacGregor's videos - many of which have switched to animation -
they look, given their frequency etc., that they're
being generated from a program. But there are plenty of other examples.
So, the news media, as presently constituted, is set for automation. I've been arguing that this was on the cards and it
explained a lot of their behaviour - the narrative compliance especially - they don't want to be outside the gated community when the time comes, think Venezuela. There may be spots for some of them - it's difficult to think that AI will do in-depth interviews - but the niche for the bland teleprompter types will disappear at
a minimum.
The report from InfoWars in the post following is interesting. A conservative commentator questioned Bard and ChatGPT and they returned back deliberate disinformation - not hallucinations. It's worth a watch. Very much like Ministry of
Truth stuff. Combine this with AI generated news content and data mining, it's very possible that information bubbles will be created around
each of us individually that are entirely disconnected
from world events all the better to manage us into
a manufactured reality.
They may well come a time when we will be fed news stories and information
principally generated by AI - an alien invasion could be genuinely staged with some prospect of success with
Unreal Engine, especially once iterated through AI. Look for the extinction of net neutrality - the whole deplatforming campaign was a precursor to this.
The management of COVID information is an example of one of these bubbles - there are still a lot of people who know no better about the phenomenon than what Six One deigns to recount.
We can still have some idea if they are lying to us from logic checking, body language and facial expressions - you can see this
in the anchors on the BBC (they're having a terrible time of it) although the RTÉ ones do have the empty vessel stares of good party members. AI will probably be excused logic errors (given it's limited in its scope of understanding) and will deliver the news with
artificial masks.
Interesting times.
