and this is why AI/deepfakes are so scary.

It isn't just that there might be fake stuff out there. it's that real stuff could get called fake. ("I didn't say that. Deep fake FAKE NEWS FaKe NeWs!!!!")

If they can convince themselves to believe he never said it, I'm going to just assume Trumpism isn't politics so much as mental illness.

Interesting that you've doubted that

All humor and rhetoric aside, when 1/3 of a population thinks or believes a certain way, you can't really call them mentally ill because they would have to deviate from a norm and they are part of the norm at that point.

But I don't know how you could believe this lie without being delusional. Hence my comment. Yes I've thought they were all fucking nuts before, but that's different from actually thinking they are ill.

I'm not a mental health professional so my opinion counts for shit anyway, but I do try to take these things seriously.
