I'm curious to see

How many people see something on FB, here or elsewhere and look it up for themselves to see if it is accurate or just take what they have seen at face value.

I see a lot of people say they "saw something", but then provide no actual information. Then i go an look things up and find the information they "saw" was wrong, skewed or misaligned.

I am guilty of not looking things up from time to time, but when questioned on them, I will and correct things. I make mistakes. But I do try to look things up to make sure things are correct.

It just seems so many do not and I have to say, this is part of the problem with people today.

We literally can't take anything at face value anymore. There is sooooo much misinformation and propaganda out there now. We are truly in a troubling time when it comes to information, but so many people are still wanting to take things as truth at face value which only hurts us.

I noticed AI-made fake news of disasters on Facebook lately and honestly, that is a pretty f**ked up thing to do.
It was also a bit of a wake up call for me and now if something catches my attention, I'm going to verify it before telling anyone else about it.

What I absolutely hate the most are articles about supposed local accidents or disasters and when you scroll down, you'll learn that it was just a crisis training. Imagine you're planning a travel and suddenly see that there was a massive car crash on the road you're supposed to pass through, closed from the both sides and only then you read that it was a training that took place 2 days ago. 🤦🏻‍♀

@CrazyMusicLover AI is getting very realistic.
