Ep. 61 - Can I Trust What I See In A Time Of AI?
from The Absurd World Podcast · host The Absurd World Podcast
Many of us spend a huge portion of our lives online. Scrolling, swiping, clicking through an endless stream of images and videos that claim to show us the world. But is that world actually reality, especially now that AI is part of the picture?And was it ever reality to begin with?In this episode, I explore how photography and video may have quietly reshaped the way we believe we experience reality, often in deceptive ways. With the help of American essayist Susan Sontag, we question what it really means to see life through a camera and whether these images reveal anything objective at all, or simply convince us that they do.
