Why do deep fakes feel so weird?

from Why does this feel weird? Hosted by Why Does This Feel Weird?

We dig into China's stunning leap in AI video generation, what their approach to training data means for the global AI race. We also explore the liar's dividend, the idea that the more you understand deepfakes and AI-generated media, the less you're able to trust what you see. Awareness doesn't seem to protect you. It might actually make things worse. From AI video generation and disinformation to the collapse of visual evidence in journalism and politics, we explore why 2026 might be the year "seeing is believing" stopped being true.
