When AI can generate perfect likenesses of people, the implications go far beyond politics or media. Imagine receiving a video of a loved one saying something cruel — completely fake, yet convincing enough to destroy relationships.
AI-generated “memories” challenge not only public truth but personal reality. Memory has always been fragile, but when anyone can manufacture “proof,” the concept of authenticity evaporates.
In such a world, truth becomes negotiable. Personal disputes, legal testimonies, even family histories may be rewritten by algorithms. The threat is not only manipulation — it’s the dissolution of shared reality.
