Are you fucking kidding me? The media/political apparatuses we have now are doing a fine job without AI. People already don't know what truth is.

No, it will remain about the same. People will develop AI to combat AI and in the end we'll still be bumbling about our days, believing whatever makes us feel all warm and tickly inside.
