    This article is making an alarmist case against AI by comparing it to technologies that also didn’t fundamentally change human life. “In the same way you might use Google Maps to get everywhere and not know how to get there otherwise…”, but GPS nav didn’t ruin our ability to drive. It just makes driving more convenient.

    If anything, the presence of AI generated fakes will make face-to-face interactions more valuable. Our most trusted source of news will be the people we trust and interact with directly. That’s not a new and horrifying condition for humanity. It’s how we always live.
