"When we're trying to decide, if something is real, and your body reacts to an illusion the same way it reacts to reality: does it even matter, if it's fake?"

From the readworthy comment section:

"We are approaching the point where those of us who care about truth and what's real need to exit the internet. Period."

"For the internet to go away, modern civilization would have to be damaged severely by something that makes using the internet for any reason irrelevant."

“More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”
― Woody Allen

Deep-Fake detectors are not nearly good enough.

| A study by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, and South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), assessed 16 leading detectors and found none could reliably identify real-world deepfakes.

They do however have some pointers for future developers.
