And so lean on conventional media.

They have fact checking teams, digital investigation teams that are looking into the fidelity.

Look for watermarks, both visible and digital.

And then also, if you only see it on social media and you cannot trace that asset, that video or whatever it is back to a trusted source, you have no business engaging with it or sharing with it or otherwise amplifying it.

The vast majority of content in my feed as of

today is in fact AI generated and it's probably going to get worse.

I think it's an important moment to make the distinction between myths and disinformation.

There are bad actors, you know, trying to influence public opinion and then a well-intentioned person who doesn't want to lie to their friends if they believe a video and then share it on their account.

The primary source trying to influence public opinion, the fake accounts, the person who created the fake video,

That's someone spreading disinformation.

But if you then share it to your network and you get your network to believe it, even if you made a mistake, even if you thought it was true, you're now spreading misinformation.

And that's the goal of these bad actors.

They want people like you to reshare this fake stuff, these fake videos, this AI slop, because...

The original source, like, yeah, people won't believe it.

But then if you share it, your friends are likely to believe you.

If a well-intentioned reporter accidentally reports on something is true using their like, I don't know, clout or their believability at that point, like that is the goal.

And so just be very careful what you share and you believe.

Yeah.

And I appreciate you drawing that differentiation.

Misinformation is the quote unquote better of the two because it's unintentional.
