I think the very act of being shown something is going to change your perception about something.

This almost reminds me of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics, which is a whole other thing.

But seeing something, this is also what I think politicians do very often is they'll float ideas.

They'll say an idea and they'll sort of test the waters if that idea is good or not.

And then they'll backtrack or they'll move forward depending.

And I feel like that's what these AI videos do is they sort of push you around and like, what are you willing to stand?

What are you not willing to stand?

And if you aren't prepared for it, I think we need education in literacy, but we also need to understand our own psychological responses.

And the scientists in this study said specifically they don't know what the psychological mechanism is that allows you to still be influenced even if you know it's not real.

And they're interested in digging deeper into that.

Yeah.

But then you ask the question, you know, like, I guess this is all about trust.

It's all about, you know, confirming your own ideas and being open to other ideas.

These are massive, massive character flaws that humanity has.

Right.

And we need to work on it.

My big advice for all of us, whenever I talk to my friends about, or anybody, my students as well, is that you shouldn't, if you're labeling yourself as part of a team,

I'm like, I'm I'm part of this group and I'm part of that group.

And you only believe what they say, then you're already like up against it.

Right.
