In this episode, we dive into the unsettling rise of AI-generated content and its impact on how we perceive reality. From hyper-realistic videos created by tools like Sora to viral hoaxes like the fake Pentagon explosion, we explore how deepfakes are fueling misinformation and eroding public trust. We break down the psychology behind why people fall for fake content, examine the risks to personal safety and national security, and share practical tools you can use to spot AI-generated fakes. As the line between real and artificial blurs, we also discuss the urgent need for media literacy, smart policy, and critical thinking to navigate this new digital landscape.
