When an audio clip appeared to show a local school principal making derogatory comments, it went viral online, sparked death threats against the educator and sent ripples through a suburb outside the city of Baltimore. But it was soon exposed as a fake, manipulated by artificial intelligence - so why do people still believe its real?
There's going to be a point where the best of us can't tell fakes from reals. What happens then?
In a grim sort of way, I have a hope that it brings us a bit closer to argumentation and a bit farther from political team-based kneejerk. Axiomatic consideration in the face of constant static.
