AI erodes trust in achievements — an 'impartial AI observer' could fix it
matdryhurst · x · 2026-10-04
Responding to a piece arguing AI makes others' accomplishments harder to believe, matdryhurst notes this only holds for narrow cases where an achievement could be represented by a context-free image. Most accomplishments are validated in place or in competition, as humans have done for hundreds of thousands of years. His provocative proposal: use impartial AI observers/agents to validate events — since cameras can easily fabricate content, "have your agents witness it or it didn't happen" could become a new trust mechanism.
