![]() ![]() ![]() “What’s also likely to happen is millions of deep fakes all the time making it onto people’s feeds, sometimes individually targeted or targeted toward tiny little subcommunities,” Goff said. The worst-case scenario is different, Goff continued. I think that’s, basically, bad for democracy, bad for Democrats, and I think bad for people’s mental health and bad for society.” Two, I think, even when something is successfully debunked or fact-checked, the whole incident has worsened the dynamic where nobody knows what to trust and everyone thinks everything else is lying everyone thinks information ought to be taken with a grain of salt. As we all know, more people are probably reached by the lie than are reached by the fact check, that’s one. “That’s actually probably the preferable scenario,” Goff said. Goff, though, cautioned that the worst-case scenario isn’t a news cycle in which a campaign is caught perpetuating a very convincing A.I. Goff added, in terms of targeted disinformation: “It’s sort of an extension of the trends that we’ve seen in every election in memory, where those who want to muck around our elections have more tools at their disposal to do it faster and smarter and at greater scale.” So misleading voters as to what candidates have said and done is not a new tactic, but this could allow people to do it faster and more convincingly, at greater scale.” Then obviously push polls are a whole other thing. “There’s been the ability to mislead voters dating back to people putting flyers on trees that claim something or other. “It’s going to be an accelerant and a scaler of things that are both nefarious and positive, things that people have already been able to do,” said Teddy Goff, a Democratic strategist who was the new-media guru for Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. ![]()
