An essay warns AI-generated photos and videos are pushing us into an “anti-reality” age

A thread argues that AI-generated photos and videos are pushing society into an “anti-reality” age, where fake imagery and real evidence are increasingly mixed. The author says this is disorienting, corrosive, and can make people more detached from truth and reality.
The post frames synthetic media as more than just harmless entertainment: it claims that oversaturated, fake-but-convincing visuals distort perception, blur the line between truth and deception, and contribute to a broader sense of confusion and nihilism.
