Why watch?
We’re entering an era where reality isn’t what it used to be. AI is reshaping it. What happens when the images we see, the music we hear, or even the words we read can no longer be trusted as human-made? In this episode of Thinking Tech, we dive into the phenomenon of hyperreality, where the lines between real and artificial blur beyond recognition.
From deepfakes to AI-generated music and writing, we explore how technology is not just imitating human behavior but also outperforming it. And while the results can be fascinating, they also raise serious questions about misinformation, privacy, and the very nature of truth in a digital-first world.
Join us as we unravel how hyperreal content is impacting the way we perceive reality and why a simple typo might be the last signal of humanity left in a world powered by AI.
