So far the only downside of what people are laughingly calling AI these days is the endless flood of shit articles using it to scour for clicks, and the people who read them and take them as gospel.

Did you watch the Super Bowl? Have you seen the new Indiana Jones trailer?
Hell, have you seen the guy on Facebook who changes all kinds of silly clips so they feature u/GovSchwarzenegger ?
The AI technology for faking someone’s image and voice are getting very good very rapidly and they’re getting very cheap as well.
It isn’t about the need to invent from whole cloth. Get a few look alike actors, and some voice and head deepfake AI and now you’ve got Joe Biden on a hot mic wanting to grab em by something even more vulgar. Hell, forget the actor, I could get an audio clip of Biden asking for Arizona to find eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty TWO votes.
A quarter of the country believes the election was stolen based off lies and zero evidence. Imagine what kind of “evidence” can be produced by bad actors that will be repeated over and over on propaganda networks “just asking questions”.

No and no.

I've never been on FB.

I wouldn't normally associate Superbowl ad spend with "cheap", but I take your point. Is there some indication that the ability to fake these images is outpacing the ability to detect the fakes?

I think this is a bit backwards, people don't even need evidence to believe what they want to believe, why do you assume that fake evidence would make that problem worse? At least with fakes you have the blowback from them being exposed as fake, with pure fantasy you can't even do that.
Either way calling these systems "AI" is only useful to marketing teams and hysterics, they aren't artificial intelligence. This is to the point that the FTC recently had to release a warning to stop with the bs marketing.

This is the same argument from people 5 years ago when the self-driving push was in full swing, until it became undeniable that the last 1%-2% of that hard problem was faaaar more difficult than the preceeding 98%.
I fully expect it to take a similar amount of time for reality to seep through hysteria in this case.
