    The new thing is the scope in which fake content is being created. In a very near future most internet content will be fake, including history. That is not something that has happened before in history.

    The current AI situation is completely unprecedented in history.

      I would disagree. I think if we go back even a few centuries, we find that virtually nobody had a firm grasp on historical fact, due to the printing press not being invented yet, alongside archeological techniques not existing.

      I mean, maybe it has happened before in history, but someone changed it via AI and we just don’t know…
