Not sure if the subject in the original post is the same as my situation, but I want to share this from last night:

My dipshit tablet-addicted father was complaining last night about not being able to tell what’s ai and what’s not. “Illian Omar [sic] has been fired every day for the last six months. She’s still there.” Him being misled by ai videos about the scary brown woman getting fired from Congress when she actually didn’t led him to say that social media needs to have some kind of fact checking for what’s real and what’s not. Same guy that’s anti fact check because “who fact checks the fact checkers” or whatever. These people are such a fucking joke I can’t believe I have to share a country with them.

Historically, older people have so far shown that they’re not particularly bothered by what’s real and what isn’t when it comes to reading/seeing things online so I’m not going to get too optimistic about this. But it would be nice if this was what sent the majority of them over the edge to quit social media so fingers crossed.

In order for a person to “not tell what is real or AI”, they would first need to know that ANY of the stuff they’re viewing is AI, which most people in that age bracket probably don’t. They assume it’s real, because it looks close enough. This one particular tech-savvy (relatively) Mother does not say ANYTHING about the rest of 75 year olds. My Mother is getting up there, and I love her, but she could not, for her life, distinguish between the real and AI minions on her facebook feed.
