Nesrine Malik warns that the rise of generative AI threatens our ability to trust what we see. The overwhelming flow of AI-generated content, coupled with existing social media algorithms, amplifies disorientation, leading individuals to question the authenticity of visual experiences. Scenes of violence, tragedy, and political events become muddled within a sea of AI creations, making reality seem both familiar and alien. This pervasive exposure desensitizes audiences, complicating discernment between genuine and artificial representations, ultimately impacting our perception of the world around us.
The overall effect of being exposed to AI images all the time... is that everything begins to land in a different way.
You can't believe your eyes, but also what can you believe if not your eyes? Everything starts to feel both too real and entirely unreal.
