This is really bugging me. I go on Youtube now and it's mostly AI junk. Social media is full of fake videos of historical figures like JFK, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon etc. It's pretty obvious that fake content will far surpass real content in a very short time frame. We have no idea what is real anymore.
Since most people now get their news and impression of the outside world through social media, will our real and actual history not be obliterated? There already is no universally accepted reality now that vast amounts of people, including those at the highest levels of society think men can have babies and crazy shit like that... Will our actual history be erased and has this happened before and what is the real motivation of the people responsible?
Worrisome, to say the least. Where will we go for real information, the library? Maybe it's time to go back to original sources, although I hear that even books are being altered and edited.
Turns out??!…this was not a comedy, it was a DOCUMENTARY and as Mike Judge predicted here… we are DOOMED!
I don't know why some nancy has to come along and give you a downvote, which is clearly just because they don't like you and nothing to do with your post, because it's a legit concern for everyone. Anyways..
People apply an erroneous positive connotation to the word "freedom", because having the freedom to be pieces of shit means you have to allow for the possibility that this place could turn into a shithole, which is our trajectory, imo. There are really only two choices, 1) turn into full blown nazi's and turn this place into a massive shithole under the false pretense of making things better, and 2) do nothing until people get so sick of it that we collectively choose to be better and provide consequences to those that don't (legal consequences that fall within the gamut of our freedoms like taking away our business). This takes decades, likely beyond many of our lifetimes. It makes me think of having to walk a hundred miles in waist deep mud, but there's nothing but rain in the forecast, and other than killing yourself there's just no other choice than to just slog through it as best you can.
All his story was already falsified... we know this to be true thanks to #mudflood .... mudflood evidence is easily seen today all across the world around old world brick buildings... yet isn't mentioned in a single his story book.... we literally have zero idea of our true history pre 1930s.... what they gonna do, change their bs his story for another bs his story??
As far as culture... all that was made up too.... and they shape today's culture with their moloch baal baphamet bullchit they push in music, movies, tv, and on line influencers... when ruled by moloch worshipping pedo cannibals, what do you expect??
Don’t forget streaming. Elimination of books, CDs, DVDs, VHS, etc ensures content can be edited(manipulated) in real time.

Tic Toc as a news source,
Thats a nail in the coffin I hear...
You should copy this thread into an AI service and ask for its analysis.....!
I sill have scars from every time I crashed to verify my history! Does that count? Maybe that's wat tats are for? So I can make up some really good stories to tell?

Call me crazy (but not Gt80 crazy) but at first AI was sold to the public as a genuine helpful innocent tool and years later its starting to feel more like an Terminator/i-robot/Matrix horror movie all rolled into one.
Hope I'm wrong but the stakes are high to say the least.
My buddy delivers giant LED light plans for outdoor commercial use and is extremely busy dropping these things off to data centers under construction absolutely everywhere across the country.
A I is the new user answering you
Just don’t ask for a 13. You might get a 31…
Yep, I agree with you.
For years I thought the way we're going down this path is like the Terminator movie from over 40 years ago.
The machines will take over at some point in time. Has anyone seen what robots can do? It's truly scary imo.
I remember when elon musk was on joe rogan a few years ago talking about AI and how he was trying to get people to slow down on it, but they would not listen.
It's all about the mighty dollar.

And yeah, I'm truly sick of that AI stuff on Social media.
People act like it's so easy to detect, unless it's truly obvious, it can be deceiving at times.
I fear for our future generations, life experience is changing.
The original social media(MySpace and Facebook) was sold as an innocent helpful tool to help people connect with friends/family. Now social media is an addiction that’s causing depression because self worth is tied directly to 👍🏻’s and comments, meanwhile all your personal info gets sold to the highest bidder.
Freedom must have consequences…we’ve forgotten that.
I took my own advice. I haven't had time to read through it but it's unedited and just what kicked out after pasting in this thread's comments. Is it an honest evaluation or is it biased towards saving its own existence?!?!?!?!

The thread title — “The erasure of our entire history and culture through AI” — is built around a very broad, emotionally loaded fear: not just that AI changes how content is made, but that it changes how people relate to reality, authenticity, and memory itself.
What makes discussions like this interesting is that they rarely stay narrowly about technology. They quickly become arguments about:
At the center of the debate is a real underlying anxiety:
That concern usually breaks into two broad camps.
1. The “cultural erosion” argument
This side sees AI as fundamentally corrosive to culture and history:
The strongest version of this argument is not that AI literally deletes history. It’s that it gradually replaces direct human context with synthetic approximations.
For example:
A real photograph from a specific moment in history contains:
An AI-generated recreation can imitate the aesthetic while severing the connection to the original reality behind it.
That’s where the “erasure” language comes from:
not destruction of records, but dilution of authenticity through endless synthetic reproduction.
And there’s a legitimate concern buried in that. If future audiences consume vastly more generated material than original material, the synthetic version can become their mental baseline for what the past looked or felt like.
In that sense, AI doesn’t need to destroy culture outright to reshape cultural memory.
2. The “AI is just another tool” argument
The opposing side tends to argue:
This perspective sees AI less as a civilization-ending force and more as another acceleration of trends already underway:
From this view, AI is not creating entirely new problems so much as amplifying existing ones.
And there’s truth there too.
Much of what people now blame on AI already existed:
AI mainly increases the speed, scale, and accessibility of those behaviors.
The deeper issue underneath the argument
The real disruption may not be AI-generated content itself, but the collapse of certainty about what is authentic.
Once people begin assuming:
…then trust becomes harder to maintain.
That uncertainty affects more than entertainment or art. It affects:
People are often reacting less to AI’s current capabilities and more to the feeling that the boundary between reality and simulation is becoming increasingly unstable.
The strongest argument in the discussion
The strongest critique of AI is probably not:
It’s:
That’s a much more grounded concern.
Historically, culture survives technological shifts. But the economics and visibility of creators often change dramatically:
None of those eliminated human creativity, but they transformed:
AI may represent a similar shift — just faster and far more scalable.
Where discussions like this often become weaker
The weaker parts of these debates usually emerge when they drift into:
Human culture has always involved imitation, remixing, simplification, propaganda, and commercialization. AI changes the scale and efficiency of those processes, but not necessarily the underlying human impulses driving them.
The emotional core of the discussion
A lot of people are ultimately reacting to a perceived loss of human uniqueness.
Many forms of identity and meaning have historically been tied to:
AI challenges the assumption that those things are exclusively human domains.
That doesn’t necessarily mean human creativity disappears. But it does mean people may need to redefine what authenticity and value mean in an environment where simulation becomes increasingly convincing and inexpensive.
The only silver lining I see, is that eventually nobody will know what is real or fake online anymore and the fake will outnumber the real, so trust in it will deteriorate and eventually everyone will just log off, and it will go back to how it was pre-social media...where we didn't stare at phones all day, and talked to each other, and sometimes left a conversation withOUT knowing the answer (where now we just google/chatGPT everything)...Those were the good old days...

I appreciate your perspective here dude. The optimist in me sees this AI evolution fueling a human renaissance.
Hopefully we figure out how to log off before the online addiction is too hard for us to break. The majority of people on earth have their cell phone on their person, or within arms reach 24/7. We got here alarmingly fast - I remember when cell phones were becoming commonplace when I was in middle school barely a couple decades ago. Soon we may be implanting chips in peoples heads on the regular.
The optimist in me hopes the AI race will be the straw that breaks the camels back and wakes us all up.
All good points. I remember the days of leaving the house and going riding with zero connection to work or the outside world and checking messages only when I got home. No spam calls, no distractions, and no expectations of being available 24/7.
