It’s a tale as old as time for the right-wing… in the words of Bono, “Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you”.
The right-wing doesn’t know empathy past their nose, so as long as it’s innocent Palestinians being killed in droves and not their own, they won’t care two shits.
Image manipulation has always been a thing, and there are ways to counter it…
But we already know that a shocking amount of people will simply take what they see at face value, even if it does look suspicious. The volume of AI generated misinformation online is already too damn high, without it getting more new strings in it’s bow.
Governments don’t seem to be anywhere near on top of keeping up with these AI developments either, so by the time the law starts accounting for all of this, the damage will be long done already.
