Exploring Conspiracies: Challenging Perspectives in the Age of AI

I’m curious with snafu, uh, with the podcast, you, you do take these moments in history, these, these giant UPS, and also the, um. In some ways, people who see, see conspiracies and then are often more than not, uh, proven true about what. What is broken? Uh, has that shifted your perspective on kind of the conspiratorial mindset that is pervasive in this day and age? I, I try to keep an open mind. Um, I think I, I’m, I’m extremely skeptical towards any conspiracy theory, and I think part of that is, uh, I always sort of check in my mind, well, how many people would be involved in this conspiracy? And usually it’s thousands and thousands of people, right. And that right away I’m like, no fucking way. There’s no way thousands of people can keep a secret, period. It just has never happened. I think AI will just pour kerosene onto the conspiracy theory. Uh, community, deep fakes and. And all that. It like. Like, it’s not. It’s, it’s. We’re not far off from deep fakes starting to happen in real time. We’re like, you could be on a zoom with someone having a live conversation, and they’re not there. Right. It is a. It is an AI version of somebody having a conversation with you. That feels like that’s a real fear you have right now that. Yeah. I don’t know if you’re real. I’m very suspicious. And I’m here. Yeah. Okay. There’s a healthy Skepticism. That’s exactly what an AI, Jordan Klepper, would say right now.
