FLINGING THE POO AND DEEP FAKES

 Yep, soon enough, you will have video evidence that I said and did things I did not say.  Right now, all you can hack is my written word, my profile, etc.  It is relatively easy for a semi-competent hacker to change someone's words.  Child's play for now.  The level of deception is just getting more and more sophisticated.

I cannot help but think of President Nelson's words that we soon will not be able to navigate the world without the deep and abiding presence of the Holy Ghost.  People will not be able to tell truth from fiction.  If someone, as my daughter did, will fall for something as benign as an obvious fake quote from Joseph Smith, how will the rest of us know what to believe.  What if there is an image showing what appears President Nelson at a press conference telling all faithful Saints to take the mark of the beast.  Will we blindly obey?  I feel like we have just been through a trial run of what is coming.

Here is something to illustrate that point:

We are going to be dealing with this and open daylight illusions that are computer generated mirages.  So good that no human can discern without divine help.  

God help us all....
