AI in motion: 3 ways to visit Uncanny Valley (+ some thoughts about the “Truth” in Post-Truth times)
It’s an obvious fact: we are living in the Epoch of the Fake News. The less obvious fact is: we always did. Just now we are getting more and more aware of it — thank to AI based Deep Learning systems — which provide us the new possibilities to change the world..
In the past, we couldn’t realize the scale of manipulation (either possible, or already in use). Voynich Manuscript is probably a fake. Media in Stalins USSR used retouching away public enemies on the newspaper to hid facts. Trump… (well, you know the story). But the main thing is:
We have to re-think the conception of truth itself.
Do we trust in XY? Do we trust to news XY did Z (which is not fine for XY reputation?). Whom do we trust more — XY or medial reports? Yes, it does mean: we have to work more than previously. We are getting mature, my dear friends. We have to perceive more sources (if we want to be sure). But we never can be sure —
There are so many truths as living beings in the world.
Saying this, we can suppose everything. Like Sylvester Stallone starring in “The Terminator”. Or Jim Carrey starring in “The Shining”.
