24. It is a huge problem.

YouTube has been almost taken over by AI. I'm sure it is on all media platforms.

The problem is what kind of world will we have if people cannot tell the difference between real information and fake information?

For example, I love to look at beautiful photos of nature. But now, someone feels like they have to "enhance" it with unbelievable cloud formations or whatever.

Yesterday, I saw a clip of George Will's likeness on YouTube. It had his voice and facial features but it was all fake. I have seen them with Rick Wilson, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and others. People that may not be as informed as you or I could easily be fooled, in my opinion. I wonder how many I do not catch?
