It's hard to babysit gullible minds. State actors were hiring teenagers to fabricate stuff at scale which some adults fall for. Now AI gives a similar scale to fabricate things.

Not trusting, verifying any piece of information is becoming crucial. So IMO getting smarter is the solution, not protecting the gullible.

Agree! Smarter skepticism is key as influence can be massive.

Unfortunately, most people are easily manipulated, a problem for important decisions like choosing leaders. Education and critical thinking are crucial.

Imagine the day they find out that their bank doesn't have the money and has been under influence the whole time.

Yes, this makes me wonder how many of us out there. Imagine withdrawing some amount of money from banks on a determined date.

Just like they try to choke on-ramps for Bitcoin as a weak point, we shall abuse theirs: withdrawal of deposits.
