In a world where stolen content is fed through AI, polished up, and posted for likes, the line between authentic voices and recycled fluff is getting harder to see. Frank argues that this wave of inauthentic content could signal the death of social media as we know it. He points out how some people are building massive followings on empty AI posts, defeating the purpose of ‘social’ media.
Justin, however, takes a more optimistic view. He suggests that once the dust settles, genuine human voices may stand out again, shining through the sea of algorithm-generated posts.
But Frank isn’t convinced—he believes that the sheer scale of AI content could drown out any authenticity. Together, they debate whether this is the end for platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, or if there’s still hope for real human connection.
From blockchain solutions to hardware that verifies human-made content, Frank and Justin debate whether these tools can preserve authenticity or if the sheer volume of AI content will drown everything out.
Beyond the question of whether AI-generated content will drown out authenticity on social media, Frank and Justin explore a range of other AI-related issues, from the future of nuclear power to the eerie rise of AI robots seemingly inspired by sci-fi films and TV shows.
