How can we distinguish truth from fiction in the age of AI? (lemmy.ml)

Clarification:

Judging by the fact that AI progress will never stop and will eventually be able to replace truth with fiction, it will become impossible to trust any article, and even if it is possible, not all of them, and we won't even be able to tell exactly what's true and what's fiction.

So, what if people from different countries and regions exchanged contacts here and talked about what's really happening in their countries, what laws are being passed, etc., and also shared their well-thought-out theories and thoughts?

If my idea works, why not sober up as many people as possible that only similar methods will be able to distinguish reality from falsehood in the future?

I'm also interested in your ideas, as I'm not much of an expert.

I think authentication will be huge.

Lots of commercial alternatives are starting to bet on the future (eg https://swear.com/), where something gets fingerprinted and the fingerprint gets signed and put on an authentication block chain (something block chains are actually useful for).

I imagine a future where this gets built into browsers (ie “this picture was verified by NY times, and it went through this editing chain, starting from a canon camera which recorded on this date”) and you can switch over to have unauthenticated assets highlighted.

Red Star OS has a meta data capture and reencode feature so North Korean authority can check who a picture was created, and access, or shared by.

Need that kind of image locking, without the fascism part
