📹 Is Seeing Still Believing? Trust in the AI Age | Ep59 OoO

Hey, Welcome Back!

What happens when AI video looks exactly like real video?

For one – figuring out what’s real and what isn’t, gets a lot trickier.

For remote workers who use video to connect, educate and share – it means rapid change has arrived.

And such faith-shaking change triggers fear.

So, while this massive leap in progress isn’t uncommon, neither are the fears and doubts that come along with it.

⭐ This time the real trick for remote workers will be embracing opportunity.

Despite the runaway train of fears that threaten to keep you stagnant as what you trust is challenged more often.

As what you create expands and takes different shapes.

This episode unpacks the change that OpenAi’s new video tool Sora brings to the world.

Like the first film of a train that caused a stampede in Paris, visual change impacts our reality on a deeply personal level.

Society depends on accurate information to function.

Yet by default, people believe anything they see, especially if its repeated.

🎞️ A hundred years ago the French trusted that first train video

🎞️ Now Boomers trust ill-advised Facebook posts

🎞️ And Gen Zers trust TikTok videos

Cognitive psychologists call this the ‘illusory truth effect’ and it’s about to get another moment in the spotlight with Sora.

Imagine being able to visually create anything with a basic prompt! Anything at all – and it looks plausible.

The wilder the video, the more likely it is to get airtime and go viral. No wonder OpenAI hasn’t released it yet.

And when they do, things will get weird.

It’s episode 59 and I’m on a mission to examine the intersection of visual AI and trust.

And to spread a message of hope and clarity amidst the inevitable fear and resistance once video as we know it, shifts for good.

✔️ Soon AI will be in every movie we see.

✔️ Every video.

✔️ Every Zoom special effect.

But don’t forget - this is a HUGE opportunity for you.

If you want to know what your next steps should be as the text-to-video train leaves the station, this episode will take you places. And it’s a one-way trip.

😨 What makes you trust that something you see is real?

It’s high time you get serious about your answer.
