The world has many dimensions. Each person has their own view of life, beyond themselves and their surroundings.
Nowadays, we don't give much importance to what we feel or “hear.” We take our senses as mere instruments of confirmation, rather than instruments of collection.
We see the world as if it were a movie, in which we are present, but almost in a cinematic way, full of constraints, obstacles, limitations (personal and imposed), and taboos.
We are unable to look at everything in a completely open way, as if it were the first time. We all have memories that always condition us. It is not always bad to be conditioned by those memories. There are those in today's world who believe that those memories should not be pursued so closely. But is that really the case? Shouldn't their importance be increasingly emphasized?
We are living in a time when the amount of information generated every second is absurd. Never before has the world seen so many gigabytes of information, videos, music, photographs, texts, and other content being created. In the age of Artificial Intelligence, these numbers will most likely increase to such an extent that, in a few years' time, I don't know if it will be possible to distinguish between what is “original” and what has been generated using this library of non-artificial information.
With so much information being generated all the time, it is practically inevitable that it will become much more difficult for each of us to distinguish and value which information, or which signal, to trust, so to speak.
How will we be able to distinguish a video generated by artificial intelligence from a real video in just over a couple of years?
Could the judicial system itself be at risk one day? How will it be possible to apply the law if we don't know that, at the same time, content and “evidence” may be created that is almost entirely realistic, with only one or two details manipulated?
I started this post with an idea in mind. I wanted to write more about our senses and how we are gradually trusting ourselves less... And I ended up being swept away by an idea that particularly bothers me, which is that in the near future, we may see societies being corrupted and legal institutions being manipulated by the private interests of one of the parties involved.
Leaving this final idea aside, what do you think about it? Do you think there will be a possibility in the near future that we will be able to distinguish between what is created and what is true?
