1. El fin de la Era de la Información.
Los usuarios perciben un cambio drástico y reciente, marcando el fin de la breve "Era de la Información" y el comienzo de una nueva etapa dominada por la desinformación. Este tránsito es visto como una rápida desintegración y una tragedia para la sociedad.
- To be fair, we left the information age about a decade ago. We are now in the disinformation age.
- The much heralded information age has disintegrated into the disinformation age and it’s a tragedy for humanity.
- Funny how quickly we’ve moved from the information age to the disinformation age. So much garbage to filter through and scams to defend against, it’s a wonder how we could live without technology.
- Only took a quarter century for us to go from the information era to the disinformation era.
- The information age is now the disinformation age. Media cannot be trusted. News cannot be trusted. Tiktok/facebook/instagram/twitter cannot be trusted. We have never had so little access to the truth.
2. La tecnología como acelerador de la falsedad.
El internet, las redes sociales y la inteligencia artificial, herramientas que prometían democratizar el conocimiento, son ahora vistas como los principales catalizadores de la desinformación. Su velocidad, alcance y bajo costo han creado un sistema de distribución de mentiras sin precedentes.
- Disinformation has always existed, but its reach and speed of distribution has increased exponentially with the advent of the internet.
- This entire thread and its responses is wild. Disinformation is becoming rampant with chatgpt, ai and other related crap. Without real information we cant face reality adequately.
- We have never had such an efficient delivery system for misinformation and a system with so few rules. We have given misinformation and lies equal value with the truth.
- I miss when the internet was a genuine place to share ideas and knowledge with other humans without being run by algorithms, bots, ai, shareholders, and lies.
- The internet, which was initially hailed as education for all, has been misused and abused with no end in sight. The impact of it has been ramped up to 11 and we are not coping at all well.
3. La erosión de la confianza y la realidad compartida.
La sobreabundancia de información contradictoria y falsa ha generado una crisis de confianza generalizada. Los individuos ya no saben qué creer, lo que destruye la posibilidad de una realidad compartida, un pilar fundamental para el funcionamiento de la sociedad.
- Disinformation on socials is at all time high. More and more people i know don’t know what to believe anymore.
- The level of disinformation flying around now is unprecedented. I don't even know how we arrive at the truth, anymore. It's really quite nuts.
- We’re living in a disinformation age. No one knows what’s real anymore without making a significant effort so they just try to ignore it until it directly affects them.
- Disinformation now, because we've lost the war for reality. And i think that's probably the most brutal aspect of this.
- I think this constant stream of disinformation is really scary stuff. Without a clear distinction between fact& fiction there is no shared reality without a shared reality, there is no shared humanity.
4. Consecuencias para la democracia y la sociedad.
La desinformación es identificada como un arma que socava activamente las democracias, polariza a la población y corroe los cimientos de la sociedad civil. Se percibe como una amenaza existencial que podría conducir al colapso social y al auge del autoritarismo.
- The amount of misinformation/disinformation that has been spreading uncontrollably has trashed democracy.
- Disinformation is subverting the will of the people around the globe. Democracies are getting their asses kicked.
- Disinformation & infotainment are dumbing down america. Until or unless this trend is slowed or reversed, we are doomed as a functioning democracy.
- This is the stark reality of the 21st century: disinformation, weaponized by both state and non-state actors, is eroding the very foundations of civil society.
- If there’s ever a reason that society could collapse, the spread of disinformation and resulting lack of shared reality might be it. I fear for our future.
