The death of language

Who would have thought AI would be used for this?

Everyone, forever.

For years we’ve been told to watch the full clip for context. Now two people can watch the same live event, hear completely different words, and both have video evidence. Microsoft has somehow found a way to make »I saw it with my own eyes« even less reliable.

Is there really no legal liability for the defamation cases this seems sure to produce?

That’s not already patented?

Anyway. Just means that now voices of authority are just voices (again). Some things about Victorian ideas of law and authority were good. Some bad, like that these things don’t extend to barbaric areas of the world, those are to make money selling stuff and growing cotton.

This is in some sense feedback to radio, mass media and the internet, as devices of propaganda.

Provided, of course, everyone knows that such things can be done, but honestly they already know.
