In 3 years it will also come complete with fake images, diagrams, photos, sound bites and video clips.

We'll all be locked in to walled gardens (figuratively) since anything out on the wild/open/unverified internet will just be fake. This is what could rescue traditional media if they play their cards right. Providing genuine content by authenticated and verified-human authors.

"fake thoughts"

"fake emotions"

"fake ideas"

"fake attractions"

I imagine the Luddites were themselves angry about fake work and fake souls. We did okay though.

Humans will cope [1]. We are resilient as fuck. We once had to fend off lions and bacterial infections and getting throttled in the night. Now we worry about lattes, stock prices, and political hullabaloo. We'll be fine.

[1] (Not just cope. I'm willing to bet that it'll be better than everything that came before.)

Luddites were executed or deported [0] though.

It’s bizarre that we have to talk about coping in the context of technology. As opposed to how it’ll make lives better.
