Undermining news by putting everything under same umbrella of "news" has been tool for fascists since the start. And i am afraid that it will become worse, because AI can produce more fake news faster then people can debunk them. One problem with this is that this seems to make people believe less even at traditional media, because they have been sold the idea that every media is fake, so they can't determine what's real and what's not.
In my country, media literacy and spotting misinformation is an essential part of civics education in my country, and i kinda wish that other countries would adapt that in their school system.
That is just it, you have said it all because we are still trying to monetize so some fake news that people do spread in social media today just in the name of finding a means of surviving in life and AI is now trending in social media which so many might be using it in creating their fake news in social media that might lead us to wrong direction if life without knowing, and it will very good if actually what you said about all countries adepting a media literacy and spotting misinformation is an essential part of civics education as you country do make use of right now.
