I've said this before but I think that 2025 will be remembered as the year when you couldn't trust anything anymore. Future historians will look back on this year as the moment where a growing number of people couldn't tell the difference between AI and reality.

2025 is the year when we started asking - Is this image real or AI? Is this video real or AI? Is this person on the internet real or an AI chatbot? Is this person on the dating app real or an AI chatbot? You can even have a voice call where the AI chatbot can fool you.

I already hate this reality when you can no longer trust your eyes. If you cannot trust anything or anybody, it's gonna have horrible consequences on society.

Yeah it's really depressing and I have no idea what to do about it. I've accepted that I'm going to be a Luddite about this issue but it's baffling to see family members willingly outsourcing their thinking and creativity to their phone. I don't know how Im going to remain tolerably 'normal' about this as it gets worse.
