The thing is, we all rely in a meaningful way on the same platforms (like this one) that are being increasingly compromised by AI-driven synthetic tools. They are essential to all of us in organizing, advocating, debating, learning and questioning.

I no longer am confident that I can distinguish between synthetic and real content produced by human beings. I suspect many of you are in a similar place.

Now scientists and researchers are sounding the alarm that emerging “AI swarm” capacity is a next level development that we have never seen or experienced before. They argue that the midterms and civic engagement are now under serious new threat.
