I think it’s not an exaggeration to conclude that the NYT is directly responsible with denying some of the worst genocides to have happened since the Holocaust, especially when the US is complicit in them

I specifically had to frame it in terms of breaking customers’ trust. If a customer sees a corp’s AI photo/video, and clocks it as fake, they can’t trust that the company’s services actually provide real results either. They feel lied to, and won’t buy
