I’m predicting now that in the future, there’s a chance the 21st century could become not a dark age but a gray age. An era where we have limited historical information not because of a lack of records, but because of an overwhelming abundance of fake or untrustworthy records.

Genius Kojumbo called this shit 20+ years ago and we all laughed at him. I am ashamed of my words and deeds.

Oh, we are loosing information too.
Just one of the many things librarians have been yelling (apparently at the sky) for years.

Along with all of the degrading digital records of film, music etc. Future historians are going to have a hell of a time working out who we were & what we were doing. (Which in some cases, is probably a good thing…)

As someone working on their family history for example, this worries me. I take the information I find transcribed as gospel, and I find a lot of connections with other family trees. If errors begin to creep in I don't know where we'd be.

I feel like in the future there'll be better tools to determine if something is AI generated or not? Or at least I hope so.

I'd say future researchers will still have to verify sources. But I think the bigger problem is going to be increased polarisation between people that do have the will and resources to verify and filter through the noise, and the "it was on Facebook so it must be true" crowd

It’ll be especially pronounced after the information boom of the early 21st century. Early social media meant that the 2000s/2010s may be the best-documented years in human history. Thanks to AI and increasing misinformation, I can’t see that continuing.

Like, I've read so many comics, manga, books, etc, that have the trope of "we have this history, then BAM, a period where we know NOTHING, then now" and suddenly it's seems so much more realistic

AI should be required to have self-reporting metadata/watermarks that define it as such just to prevent these sorts of issues. It's actually better for AI companies as well because you don't want to feed output as input.
