Provenance: A survival toolkit for an AI dominant information landscape

I’ve encountered a few sobering moments in comment sections lately. Not the moments where I realize no one else has noticed what I deem to be obviously AI-generated content. But the ones where I’m made aware I’ve been deceived, only through help from commenters vigilant than I. The senses alone were never perfect arbiters of online authenticity, but that deficit is widening. The unfortunate truth is your grandma, and I are increasingly likely to be deceived as AI sharpens its understanding of reality.
