RIP Internet 🪦 w/ Neil deGrasse Tyson

[sarangtamoi]

My dad who used to believe in blatantly fake edited videos on the Internet recently asked me "is this some AI trick" when we came across a very cool trickshot video. The world is changing

[skywraith]

Idea of internet going back to being just cat videos is absolute win

"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

The best connection is still just walking up to somebody and start conversing.

[MrBoogerRed]

Hell we're already there. People only believe it if it fits their agenda

[mr_klawd]

The internet going back to its glory days would be a blessing

[jodielevi]

It's more like when visual/audio evidence will no longer be valid.

I said this omg. Feels so validated now coming from
This legend thank you.

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.

2000 to 2010 was peak internet.

Years (10+) ago I was looking online for information on dogs with worms and the treatment. (We had a puppy.) I came across a website that claimed to be a veterinarian and that yogurt cured worms in dogs. THAT was my moment of knowing the internet was full of craparama.

Plot twist: That's not really Neil deGrasse Tyson. It's A.I.

The best thing for humanity is to connect with their neighbors and do good things for each other

[venrahtryne]

The internet is already an unreliable source and it still exists. People just pick the story they want to believe

[NelsonMontana]

They'll still believe it if it's what they want to hear.

[Nuts]

The internet was supposed to be the key to access limitless information, but everyday it becomes less reliable, until the purpose for which it was made will be lost

[Flonchosis]

The internet returning to funny cat videos wouldnt be that bad
(Note: not ai cats)

[n_explosion]

The role of the internet as a source of objectivly true information is already long gone.

[AJOlesen]

This is definitely one of two scenarios. The other one is that even more people would believe fake news since it will become more believable.

We’ve never needed social media, and it has not benefited society in any way.
