We need aggressive action against this. Urge every politician you can to make media literacy taught in school. Students must learn how to identify disinformation and propaganda.
Somehow I dont think a class is going to fix this.
Then what would?
I dont know. Maybe its not fixable. Maybe democracy as we know it cant withstand contact with social media and AI any more than absolute monarchy could survive the printing press. Maybe it will get better on its own, as kids growing up with AI start to spot it the way people today spot CGI.
Who knows what the next generation of ai models may bring?
If language learning models really are a dead end then maybe the next big leap forward will bring with it positive change. Maybe not.
