- Pdiddy, kayfabe content, and truth in recoordkeeping
- I mentioned in 2024-06-26 ai and personal data that I thought “voice replication, deepfakes, and personally identifying information” would be what pushed us into a “post-truth internet” (as opposed to, e.g, stolen art).
- Since then, P. Diddy was arrested, and the amount of misinformation and speculation online is worse than I’ve ever seen it.
- Someone put a book on Amazon saying that it was written by Kim Porter and published posthumously. People are making six-pat series dissecting the book on TikTok.
- There’s an AI-generated song that people are saying was recently released by Justin Bieber; it’s an AI replication of his voice singing about a “Diddy party”.
- I feel like it is so easy to create fake content, and things go viral so quickly that fact and fiction are becoming increasingly blurred.
- There’s also a couple of TikTok who posts their home camera footage. They share “candid” conversations in their kitchen about coworkers or friends or whatever.
- Except every video is clearly staged.
- I catch myself feeling like a buzzkill every time I point out that a video someone shared with me is probably fake.
- It makes me feel like: Why are you taking it so seriously, just laugh at the funny video?
- BUT THAT’S HOW THEY GET YOU!
- I don’t want to get desensitized to fake content presenting itself as genuine… Or is everyone else in on the joke?
- Either way, this is {1.2a2e1} kayfabe content.
- 2024-11-09 This continues to get worse because {1.2a2e2a1} algorithms increase the spread of misinformation.
