I believe this is actually one of the main objectives of gen AI. Since anyone can now generate believable fake content about anyone and anything, any politician or billionaire can dismiss legit evidence as generated by AI. Only official sources will be considered trustworthy and they'll say whatever is in the oligarchs' best interests.
I've said it often, that the reason you see the biggest supporters of GenAI being right wingers and their proxies is because they know they can never compete on facts and truth, so rather than changing what they are.. they are gonna use GenAI to change reality itself for all their idiotic supporters.
This is why Sam Altman was so keen for people to use him in Sora clips. He can claim that literally any compromising photo or video of him is just AI generated. It's the boy who cried wolf, except the boy wants people to stop believing him.
