The current advancement in Generative AI is a bit scary, in my opinion. May I be pessimistic?

This and the new demos I saw from WhatsApp's new demo around persona-based AI can really alter someone's perception and memories. I don't think we are considering how it can really impact our understanding of our feelings, perception, memories and mindfulness.

If you take a picture of reality and alter it with Gen AI to do something else and change the moment, what is the new reality? After a while, we might question if it was real or not, and then that might just become the new reality.

In my opinion, GenAI is truly transformational as well as scary, as it can alter our perception. I wonder if anyone else feels this way.

Nobody shows their true reality in public pictures anyway, it's all staged in some way.

For private pictures, it didn't change your reality, you can lie to yourself, but you've always been able to do that.

but when you take a picture that capture personal moment and some software without your consent alters it with some generative stuff, what would that lead to?

I disagree with lying to yourself. For people who are not mindful and aware, this is severely impact their perception.
