We live in a world today where authenticity is scarce. Fake news is the headline of the day and AI makes it easier to create such a world that is artificial. Our president uses the word hyperbole frequently because we lack the credibility and honesty to be truly authentic. 🙁
Another authentic one in the world of fakes, we have fakes, counterfeits, first copy, second copy in products and fake or rather unauthentic behaviour of people, whether in person or in digital form, and now deepfakes through technology. Hope we change for better in the coming years.
True what you say about being authentic. However, if you are authentic but not sensitive to the people or the situation, you can put them off. When I see the increase in fake news in the media and how quickly it reaches us compared to authentic reports, I am reminded of poet Yeats' lines "The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity."
Question - Is conjuring up a superior being with no real physical existence and use it to control people's minds, acceptable/authentic?
This is in the realm of "belief" which in itself is subjective. And we humans divide and even kill for this. Are we "deep fakes" when claim to be the smartest on this planet?
