It already has been proven. Lie in an article, and 80% or so of people will miss the update
This is depressingly true, might even be more than 80% of people.

Write slanderous untrue headline and blatant opinion piece disguised as "news", issue correction like three weeks later in fine print. Damage done, and you still get to claim you're a journalist cause you "corrected" the record.

Journalists are journaling in their journals, not reporting the news.

Yeah, there will always be homeless people who chose to be homeless because they like that lifestyle.

But.. over time a homeless person of the future would be indistinguishable from a rich philanthropist today.

Plus that’s just malice-intent reputation ruining

If I was a singer or performer, I would be pretty upset with someone selling AI generated songs with my likeness and voice, me being something God created that AI couldn’t have copied had I not existed

Copyrighting ourselves is probably inevitable to prevent mass theft. And then there’s still malicious use, like mailing an AI video of someone beating their girlfriend to the gf’s family or something

Do you also get mad at baseball players for not proofing the pythagorean theorem?

I think humans are funny.

If we don't have fake news, we can't have real news.

If we do something to protect real news, then we'd be sure (based on our own fake news assumptions) that protection would definitely be lying to us.

Ironic how like, we're incapable of believing the truth, so long as there is a chance the thing telling us the truth is capable of manipulation.

Like, you could have a flawless AI that would never lie, do all the news.

But we would never believe it, because we'd be positive that it was telling us the news it wants us to hear, and hiding the rest.


-- Now extrapolate that to entropy.

You can't have happiness without sadness.

You can't have good without bad.

You can't have rich without poor.

You can't have bravery, without fear.

You can't have energy, without entropy.

Just like every law in the universe, you can't have the good only.
