So you’re basically saying, why won’t we throw all that we know and validated by experiments throughout the last century and just do some magic because AI will figure it out. Why ask the question then? Why do you care what anyone else says? Why did you post this?

basically they paste a full face onto another face. even if they do it convincingly there are still some issues around the exterior of the faces, so past the eyebrows etc. if it was a painting, look between the framing and the face. there will be something that doesn't look quite right. is this case, look for the hairline and the eyebrows. if something between those look a bit odd. it might be fake. i know it may seem vague but once you catch it, you'll understand what i mean.

Laws of physics can change or new ones be added. Its just a set of rules humans set in physics, but that's only based off of the physics that humans know now. Once AI comes in, all kinds of new knowledge about physics come in, developing new knowledge, and changing our own laws of physics/modifying them. So according to our current laws of physics, a shrink ray might be impossible, but with how intelligent AI would become, it could find and learn new physics that we're not even close to, then possible from that.

No, you can’t effectively shrink anything without crushing it. The atom is like 90% empty space, but it is maintained by nuclear forces. To shrink it you need to actually crush things with suck force that it effectively destroy anything. There are places in the universe where these forces are overcome but these places are rather extreme. Like centers of stars, where overcoming the nuclear forces starts the fusion reactions.

Nature does not allow for “shrinking”.

That's not really comforting, given humanity's tendency to "go with the crowd." Does it matter if the crowd is fake, if the fake crowd can manipulate people into believing falsehoods, because "so many people can't possibly be wrong?"

We saw this with chain emails back in the day those were a big thing. Using bots on social media to boost the visibility of something is just the newest version of that.

I think it’ll come regardless. Corporations will be taxed to keep social services running. More people will end up needing social services because they’re not working. Shelters, food banks, unemployment etc. UBI as a social service is just the next step.
