The notion of AI replacing cognitive, creative, and philosophical thinking will run its course soon.
So will the thought of dainty petite humanoid robots doing what ever we can do physically.
Eventually everything will settle down, and people will realize, that it's just a better algorithm running on faster processors.
Then and only then can we begin to harness this new computing potential most efficiently.
I akin it to, had the first 10 years of the telephone, was used only to remotely fart prank people.

Prank phone calls are still the best even as an adult. Problem is finding people that answer their phone. I think most people have a decent enough amount of intelligence to know when something isn't real, or so I hope. I'm hyper reluctant to believe anything even before AI as someone that's worked with photoshop and video editing. What's here now is not really new, just easier for the common person to use it.

Already is. My mother was watching something about some murderers in LA, and it was talking about a storage unit with 3 dead bodies positioned in it and how there was a screenplay written by the murderer about it and all this other kooky shit. It even mentioned the LA Times and ABC and a named Detective etc as "References"
It was narrated in that generic AI Voice
She is too old to tell the difference, almost 80.
Needless to say, the whole thing never happened.

In my opinion AI is far easier to spot than profession photo or video doctoring.
I can tell when someone is being genuine and authentic, and the same goes for AI video.
I do like it for exaggerated caricatures and animation. I like it much better than 3D rendering by humans. Which I could always tell was not real. No matter how great the graphics and GPU got. It's a great CGI replacement, but not a better human model.
At the same time I think 3D rendering does a better job at a convincing scene. The lighting, and how other objects react with objects in the scene. AI wont even try to throw up dust and be true to every shadow for every light source.

I never trust that I'm talking to a person and not AI unless I've actually met the person.

There's phrases and words you can say to any human and get a constant response no matter the nationality or culture.
AI speakers never catch it and react differently than expected. If you can't get any real emotion out of the voice on the phone, then it's AI.

And let's also connect that to intel agencies. Our own CIA is very well known for creating online forums and using them to manipulate and sway opinions, spark riots. Great examples of that social engineering is their success with Twitter / Facebook in Arab springs and in Ukraine and BLM riots out here, or even that little crapy looking website patriots.win (social engineering for conservatives), with Elon Musk like a whore trying to give away "free (manipulated) internet" to every nation where CIA has an operation. This isn't US only, China, Russia, Israel and others doing same things. It's scary the level of manipulation that will come upon us from all sides as AI matures, it only gets worse from here. This is why I think internet is doomed, the level of manipulation is going to skyrocket sooner or later and ruin everything.
