God this is creepy. Like I know propaganda machines can and have done their work fine without AI, but we're entering an era where our capitalist overlords can just produce footage and images of whatever whatever they want to justify anything they want. Unionisers could be arrested for somerthing they never did. For example.
I kinda feel like people skilled in photoshop have been able to create whatever they want to sway consent for government atrocities for a while now. Being able to manufacture believable video of the other decapitating babies and guzzling their blood is gonna be the real kicker. There's an Orville episode where the space fascists mention that generating videos of their political opponents doing and saying heinous shit is commonplace that I felt was prescient.
