TED Talks Daily · Beyond the Talk: Hany Farid on trust in the age of AI · 2 Jul 2025 podcast

I get just as much hate mail, maybe a little bit more from the right than the left, but I get a lot of hate mail from people who don't like what I have to say because it doesn't conform to their worldview.

Yeah.

I can't tell you how many emails I get from people who say, hey, you should look at this and tell me what you think because you're the world's leading expert on this.

And I'll respond, hey, we've looked at this.

Here's the fact check.

And they wrote back being like, you're a moron.

I'm like, okay, but you're the one who wrote to me telling me I'm the world's leading expert.

So what are we doing here?

Yeah, yeah.

Right?

I'm only the world's leading expert when I agree with you?

When I agree with you.

It's not the way the world works.

And here's the thing is you can sort of blame people for being knuckleheads, but part of it is also that we are living in the mother of all echo chambers because of social media.

We absolutely do.

And I think people also interact with each other online in a way that they wouldn't do like this.

I can't tell you the number of people who have threatened to kill me on email or voicemail for that matter.

Sometimes they're handwritten letters.

Those are particularly weird.
