    When you sit down to watch a movie, you know it isn’t real. When you watch media coverage of current events, you should not have to guess if it is or isn’t.

      I agree. But that’s wrong because lying about current events is wrong. This is what I meant about framework. AI is a tool in that regard and not the problem. There is plenty of “real” journalism out there spreading lies too that I have problems with.

      I’m fortunate I guess that most of the AI slop I dismiss is things more akin to baby panda sneezing scares mom panda. Where it doesn’t REALLY matter if it’s real because there are no consequences. It’s either funny or it’s not.
