Text was never looked at a source of truth like video was. If you messaged someone something, they wouldn't necessarily believe it. But if you sent them a video of that something, they would feel that they would have no choice but to believe that something.

> Well yeah duh, you can trust no type of media just because it is formatted in a certain way

Maybe you wouldn't, but the layperson probably would.

> We arrive at the truth by using multiple sources and judging the sources' track records of the past

Again, this is something that the ideal person would, not the average layperson. Almost nobody would go through all that to decide if they want to believe something or not. Presenting them a video of this sometjing would've been a surefire way to force them to believe it though, at least before Sora.

> people have always been a problem for society

Unrelated, but I think this attitude is by far the bigger "problem for society". It encourages us to look down on some people even when we do not know their circumstances or reasons, all for an extremely trivial matter. It encourages gatekeeping and hostility, and I think that kind of attitude is at least as detrimental to society as people with no media literacy.

> you do to your mouse trying to get your click speed above 10 CPS

There are multiple ways to do this. Jitter clicking and butterfly clicking are the most common ways to do this which don't make use of a particular defect in some mice (double clicking).

I think they meant that the bots would account for a signicant portion of the total measured market share, not necessarily an increasing portion.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but the other Google search image had the search query in quotes which significantly limits potential search results.

I use DDG for ideological reasons but in my experience Google Search has always been the better engine when searching for specific queries while for general queries most search engines are roughly the same. In terms of overall performance I'd say Google takes the cake, followed by Brave and then DDG/Bing/...

I would not say nice. Smart, and sometimes cordial, is how I would describe people here.

I think you will get downvoted soon (and I for mentioning this) but this is the simplest and most logical explanation on this thread by far.
