A great advantage of the internet has been the ability for people to communicate globally. A downside of that however, has been the decontextualization of information and the way it impacts how we communicate to each other. The strongest form of communication is exhibited in the physical world. In the physical world, you are often able to achieve privacy and ensure that everyone is on the same page with what it is you are saying (preserving context). Digital communication has broken both these properties and much more. This has impacted our ability to coordinate, communicate, and have a strong sense of identity. With the advent of language models and generative AI, we are only going to further distrust the information we see digitally without other security measures in place (ie., cryptographic signatures).
