I'm at the point where I'm starting to appreciate how hard somebody tried to fake something

It's basically a form of art itself

Examples

Not very good fake but an attempt was made and the song is good:

This is a pretty good fake:

humans have been faking things well forever. It's called stories. I think this just means we've suddenly gotten a lot better tools for telling stories with videos.

Do you not make the distinction between something that is meant to be perceived as real but is not (fake) and something that is clearly labeled as not real (fiction)?

You're right. I think I do make such a distinction. And yet I think maybe this clear distinction is relatively new in human history. Or at least our firm belief that we can actually tell is a recent phenomenon of the last 100 or less years.

Maybe the new abilities ai gives us will simply move us back to how we have always been: more or less credulous depending on the teller of the story and the story they are telling.

Pure fiction.
Not just videos.

What if we need to "fake it" to discover who we truly are?
