The distinction between influencing through authentic engagement versus mere online posts is critical, especially in the context of politics and AI's role in shaping narratives. Recent instances of manipulated images shared by public figures, like Donald Trump’s posts featuring AI-generated content, highlight a growing numbness to the presence of deep fakes. Despite significant media coverage, there appears to be a lack of concern among the public and policymakers regarding the implications of AI in influencing public perception and the reliability of visual media. This situation raises questions about the potential desensitization to AI content, where audiences might dismiss manipulated images as commonplace. The future impact of such content on public opinion remains uncertain, but the trend suggests a shift in how credibility is evaluated amidst pervasive AI-generated materials.
