60. Block what?

There are multiple levels:

Fully AI generated stories ("news" or opinions)
Fully AI written posts based on peoples prompts
Deepfake video or pictures about events
Deepfakes of people (which is increasingly becoming a problem)

I've seen a bunch of DUers fall for the last one, and the reason is that they are tough to detect

The AI stories might be detectable if they are linked. The posts are very hard to detect. The deepfake videos and pictures are challenging to detect, so it's important to check sources. Even with that, it is challenging.
