00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Escape to a river resort. While we often talk about

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you shouldn't fall for fake news or

3
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>different things that are floating around social media, that you

4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 1>always have to research. Living in this new technology age

5
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>in which we can't even trust our eyes anymore, there

6
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>are AI images out there that look pretty real. You

7
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>have to have a lot of sympathy for people that

8
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>do fall for this and start to share images, because

9
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>when you look at them, they seem very real. When

10
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you look at them, they seem like it's something somebody

11
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 1>actually took a photograph of, But the reality is it

12
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>is purely AI generated. We saw this after the hurricanes

13
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>devastated Tennessee and the Carolinas and there was those mass flooding.

14
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>There was this picture of a little girl with a

15
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>puppy in a boat, flood waters all around, tears in

16
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>her eyes. It was a very powerful image. When you

17
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 1>looked at it, you saw something that instantly evoked an

18
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>emotion in you. You felt for this little girl, You

19
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 1>felt for this little puppy. But it wasn't real. But

20
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it was shared all over social media. It was shared

21
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>all over because people saw it and then invoked that reaction.

22
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>We were already feeling bad for the victims. You see

23
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>something like that that reinforces it. You instantly share it,

24
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 1>and it looks so real on its surface. But when

25
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 1>you take a deeper look at it and you realize

26
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>that on one hand, the girl had but three fingers

27
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and on the other hand she had six fingers, that's

28
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>when you realize that maybe this photo's not real. But

29
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>so much of this is happening nowadays, and we're living

30
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in a frightening time to where we're so easily misled,

31
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>and we're misled through technology. There is now technology that

32
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>can emulate anyone's voice. So you may hear an audio

33
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>clip that tells you that your favorite politician, your favorite

34
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>sports hero, whatever it is, you hear with your own ears,

35
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 1>this person saying the most horrific things imaginable. You hear it,

36
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>so you believe it. Then you find out that was

37
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 1>AI generated. He never said that a computer emulated his

38
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 1>voice and said it. When we watch things, and we're

39
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 1>sitting here in this new technology world where we're seeing

40
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 1>advancements and artificial intelligence, we have to question more things

41
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 1>than we ever have before. We have to look at

42
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>things and actually do research before we buy into anything.

43
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I know that's hard, especially in our busy lives, but

44
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>when we have social media and everybody wants to be

45
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>the first to share something. Look, I'm not throwing out

46
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>a stone inch you and saying that you're wrong for

47
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 1>wanting to be the first to share something. I do

48
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 1>see something and want to be the first to get

49
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that information out there, especially if it's something I can

50
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>put on the right sides page that will generate more

51
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>attention to the program. So we have that urge that's

52
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>human nature. But now, unless I know it's accurate, I

53
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>am less likely to share it. I am less likely

54
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 1>to put something out there without some type of verification.

55
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Where do we get that verification from? Especially in today's

56
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>day and age, where we have a hard time trusting

57
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>our mainstream news media. Where do we get that verification

58
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 1>when those who were supposed to be the ones who

59
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>were bringing us the factual news are in fact bringing

60
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 1>spend themselves. We've talked about it already, how they have

61
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 1>edited certain interviews to try to help candidates of their choice.

62
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about it before. How the news media will

63
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>put out a false story that they know is false

64
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>because it aids the person they want or it harms

65
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the person they dislike. So again, in this new age,

66
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>where are we supposed to find our comfort to know

67
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that these images, that these sounds, these things that we're

68
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>coming across, how do we know that they're real? Yes,

69
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 1>I want people to think before they post, think before

70
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>they share certain things on social media, but also have

71
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot a lot of sympathy for them, especially some

72
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>of our older friends who are on social media who

73
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>are quick to run. One of the things that I

74
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>find more frustrating than somebody sharing a fake AI generated

75
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>picture or a story from a less than incredible source

76
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 1>are the self righteous people that want to jump on

77
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>them and condemn them. Maybe they have more time on

78
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>their hands, maybe they've already seen that it's fake. That's fine,

79
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 1>tell them hey, look I think that's an AI generated photo.

80
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Maybe even private message them. But too many people want

81
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to go on there and shame people for sharing this stuff,

82
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>knowing full well that they're just one post away from

83
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>being fooled themselves. These self righteous people, in my opinion,

84
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>are some of the worst. They might actually be worse

85
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 1>than the people sharing the false information, the AI generated information,

86
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 1>because again, they want to look down on them older

87
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>folks are going to have a harder time understanding some

88
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 1>of this new technology. There's going to come a day

89
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 1>where you and I are going to have a harder

90
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>time understanding the new technology. They're trusting their eyes. They

91
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 1>see a photo, they believe it to be real because

92
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 1>they can see it. They hear something with their own ears,

93
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>they hear it, so therefore they think they can believe it.

94
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>They don't understand this technology. So maybe before you jump

95
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>on them and start to try to shame them for

96
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 1>sharing something that you already know to be false, maybe

97
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 1>you try to help them, because again, it is a

98
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>scary new world, and you, my friend, are also just

99
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 1>one post away from putting out your own bit of

100
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>false information. This has been Morning Coffee with the Right Side,

101
