What We’ve Been Getting Wrong About AI’s Truth Crisis

What we’ve been getting wrong about AI’s truth crisis

MIT Technology Review says the US Department of Homeland Security has confirmed using Google and Adobe AI video generators for public-facing content, reported last Thursday. The post cites two failure points: Adobe auto-labels only fully AI-made content, mixed edits are opt-in, and X can remove or hide labels. The key issue is influence after exposure: a new Communications Psychology paper found participants still used a fake confession deepfake to judge guilt even after being told it was fake.

Why it matters: This is not zero-sourcing commentary: it ties confirmed DHS usage to concrete labeling gaps at Adobe and X, then adds a named study showing disclosure did not reset judgment. HKR-H/K/R all pass, but it is still commentary plus one study, not a same-day industry-moving event.
