Dear @crypto.piotr I think technology is a double edged sword. The more advanced the technology the more powerful it gets at its ability to do good as well as bad.
After all it is not the sword that kills but the hand that wields it and the mind that guides it.
Having said that I see a silver lining to this dark cloud which is as follows.
Now let us assume that such technology becomes very common that anyone can create such fake content using AI
So what are our options?
For any media to be played out you need a player and a medium. To play a movie you need a movie player. To transmits messages you need medium like whatsapp or facebook or twitter.
So with such killer technology in place it would also be possible to creates software which can be implemented as addons, firewalls or anti- fake content identifier using advanced AI algorithms that filter all content and use high tech AI to not only block fake content or at least mark it as fake news. Not only that it would be able to use data analytic more efficiently and able to pin point the source of the fake news and give the perpetrators of such content little opportunity of shoot and scoot (The way hackers hack compromise a system inject a code and go away).
Channels like facebook and whatsapp can have such filters built into their servers.
I think the hand that holds the sword can also be used to protect and good AI would win over bad AI or the battle would go on for a long time. It may as well give rise to a new industry of specialist or developers who specialize in scanning and identifying the foot prints of fake content.
Something similar to what an anti- virus program does today and keep our computers mobiles and other devices secure.
Great discussion resteemed so it can reach out to more people :)

hi buddy
Thanks for replying and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it a lot.
That's very true.
Im sure many fincial corporations will exploit AI to create even more fake financial news in order to control the market. That's what I afraid the most. Crypto community will be constant victim of those kind of abuses.
We have trouble realizing if written online news is real or fake. All mentioned by you solutions will only help small group of people. Most may end up being vulnerable. Dont you think?
Can you imagine that right now AI could already create 'fake' video of your favourite influencer in which he would make some fake statements, which could affect your financial decisions.
I hope I can spend my old days living in some remote 3rd world country, disconnected and off-line. Far from all upcoming mess.
ps. I really liked your new post about credit/debit card. Easy read.
Yours
