How do you know if a video is AI? (lemmy.ml)

I just looked for ai slop on the internet and some videos are very realistic, so realistic it makes me doubt my ability to discern what’s real from what’s created to play with my emotions and generate money for the creator or advance an agenda.

I’m in my 40s. Video sites are full of what I assume overconfident people younger than me with comments like how boomers would believe any of these videos. I’m not that old myself yet but this stuff is scary. It can be used to denigrate a politician, to demonize or ridicule minorities, to share misinformation, to make porn using the face of somebody who rejected a disgruntled man...

It’s also very sad society actually wants this. It shows lots of people are actually very gullible and stupid.

A better question would be, how do I avoid being gullible with images and video so realistic? Because the more technology advances the worse it’s going to get.

I wouldn't bother learning, whatever you learn today could be out of date in a year and could overall be impossible in less than 5 years. historically people would believe whatever title you slap on a youtube video regardless of if the video even tried to demonstrate the claim or not. I'd focus on authoritative and reliable sources and just be an open minded but also vigilant skeptic of claims you have no practical way to validate.

for example they'll show you something like a video of Latino Americans celebrating with overlay text claim it's Venezuelans supporting Trump (I'll assume you don't know Spanish or there's no original audio) and it's a real video but the original video was celebrating a sports game like 10 years ago.
