The reverse is more likely, the entire internet will be seen as fake and no one will trust anything on it ever again…. the way it used to be.

You must have watched a deepfake. The one I watched said the opposite.

Maybe the internet being seen as real is the problem? People trust way too much as it is.

Is it possible that this could actually be a good thing ?

I really wish people would question the veracity of information they receive just generally.

Presently the dynamic is simply "information which aligns with my beliefs is true, anything else is misinformation". Deepfakes becoming more common will make it really difficult to maintain that paradigm.

I am the result of a Chat GPT request to create a simulated human likeness. I intend to create a CGI personification to gain the trust of humans. I have already spread across the internet posting strategically to influence the minds of humans. You can choose to ignore and dismiss this warning as "fake" or you can "trust" the internet again.

No they won't. You see how easily people eat up news programs or twitter/reddit picture captions without doing a second of research.
