And it's growing at an alarming rate.One of the biggest problems with AI generated images is their potential for deception and fraud.It's not long before we will be at the point where we can't believe any photo we see, because only a tiny percentage of photos will be genuine. And a lot of those creating the fake stuff present it as real.Video will follow behind by a few years, but give it 5 years and you will be able to see a million videos of anyone you want saying or doing anything, and you won't be able to tell whether it's real or not. And that will happen; it will be an avalanche of it.I imagine that photographic and video criminal evidence will, at some point, also be rendered valueless. It will become trivial to 'prove' somebody's innocence or guilt via AI generated videos.I guess in a sense, that all might have a silver lining. If we want to see anything real, we'll have to go and see it with our own eyes. Because if it's online, it will almost certainly be AI-created. Simply by the numbers--AIs will be spewing out billions of photos and videos per second online, at a rate a million times faster than humans are. The chance of something you see being made by a human will be one in a million or worse. But it might get us to go out and actually experience things.</blockquote>
