Porting a conversation over from bsky.
Someone had posted a sensational image showing how well AI can falsify data.
Here’s my response:
It’s always been easy to falsify data. Charts were once hand drawn, tables had ++,+,+-,- not # ‘s
The real problem isn‘t that new technology allows people to falsify data.
It’s that we’re losing trust in one another. Why is that?
Are the reasons for lost of trust based in fact or sensationalism?
