When AI fakes initially started coming out, my gut reaction was "good, people will now judge public figures by what they do, not what they say."

Part of me believes this still, but another part of me thinks that the public will just switch off completely from the wider world around them and become more apathetic.

Maybe this is good. If people are more concerned with their local sphere and not the global one, they might be more encouraged to engage with local initiatives that make a difference in their area.

I definitely see the internet becoming a place for entertainment rather than news or knowledge, but have no idea how actual news will be delivered when the background noise is so high
