We have been beyond that point for a while. You should only trust reputable news sources, any picture or video can be faked or generated by AI.

As far as overwhelming regular human content, though, there are still CAPTCHAs to prevent that. I haven't seen any indication that AI models are breaking CAPTCHAs any time soon. Since they are purposefully designed to exploit the weaknesses in AI, they will be one of the last to fall before we get AGI.

I recently saw this video, and I do understand the importance of captchas in preventing bots from flooding social media.

However, there isn't much stopping a normal person from just completing the captcha and then copy and paste an AI generated response, image, etc.

Additionally, news sources may already be trying to use AI to generate their articles.

I remember seeing that someone also used an AI to generate an entire fake New York Times article, but I can't find a link.

I'm extremely concerned for the children that are growing up navigating this world. It's hard enough being an adult in it right now.
