The uncanny valley is dead. AI images now fool humans instantly — no squinting, no tells. From post-truth AI to deepfake music and AI police, this is the moment reality stopped being reliable.
This week, we hit the tipping point. Tools like Nano Banana Pro can generate photos so realistic they fool people on the first glance — including people who know what to look for. No weird hands. No obvious artifacts. Just images of things that never happened.
From there, the fallout gets messy.
We dive into post-truth AI, the rise of deepfake music, the ongoing Suno controversy, and why major labels are quietly switching from lawsuits to partnerships. If AI can create hit songs, convincing voices, and fake events, who actually owns culture — and does it even matter anymore?
Then we tackle one of the most uncomfortable experiments yet: AI police and AI customer support, including non-emergency lines piloting AI agents. Faster response times sound great… until you’re explaining a crisis to a machine.
Some AI is exceeding expectations.
Some is failing miserably.
And some is crossing lines we can’t uncross.

Could YOU spot the fake?
If an AI image fooled you at first glance, should it be labeled — or is that already too late?
