Generative Doubt
Extensively using LLMs during everyday writing tasks seriously messes with one's perception. Suddenly, i have doubt about all texts online - wondering if it might be secretly generated. Certain words, that vanilla LLMs overuse, have become taboo and many texts feel cheap.

The public hasn't fully grasped that photo & video evidence is now unreliable due to AI-generated fakes. Crime scene photos, blackmail footage, surveillance videos—all can be faked. Now, all visual evidence requires costly forensic analysis to be trusted. Profound implications.
