Agreed. I think that the concern about disinformation stemming from AI images/video misses the bigger picture.
Humanity will adapt to these new technologies. We'll begin to trust what we see less and less. Which will prevent us from being fooled, but we also lose a massive part of the human experience in the process.
Soon the days of being able to view a photograph, a video, artwork, and appreciate it as human ability at its pinnacle will be gone.
Spotify is a background noise generator. With hard work it can be used to listen more attentively by searching for specific albums by specific artists, although the amount you’re contributing to those artists is ambiguous.
It has false positives and noise for sure, but it's also very sensitive and shows issues very quickly.
I wouldn't trust it as a single source, but in a case like this where our internal monitoring shows a spike of issues with the Google APIs and we can see a huge spike in reported issues for Google on Downdetector starting at the same time, it's useful to confirm that the issues have an external source.
