➡ The video discusses the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfake technology, which could make it hard to distinguish between real and fake content online within the next six months. This could lead to privacy concerns as governments may require personal data to verify online identities. The video also highlights the potential misuse of this technology for misinformation and the challenges in detecting fake content. Lastly, it mentions the possible introduction of reality policing, where tech verification will determine what’s real and not.
➡ Deepfakes, or artificial intelligence manipulated videos, are becoming increasingly convincing and harder to detect. This could lead to societal issues as it becomes difficult to distinguish real from fake content. Governments are trying to control this by implementing laws and technologies like C2PA, which tracks the origin and edits of digital content. However, this could lead to the end of online anonymity and increased government control, making it crucial for individuals to critically analyze the content they consume.

Hi folks, CanadianPrepper here. Today we are going to be talking about artificial intelligence. Hey! Get out of my chair! We have about six months left before nothing is real. Or at least that’s the consensus of most of the experts. We have around six months before we are faced with the problem of what they call indistinguishable. That is, you’re not going to be able to tell what is real and what is fake. Deepfake and AI technology is progressing at such a rapid rate that this is going to become a huge problem in 2026.

The solution is going to come at the expense of your privacy because governments are going to say, hey, if you want to access the internet and you want to post on the internet, in order for us to know whether or not you’re a real person, we’re going to need your identity, we’re going to need your data, and we’re probably even going to need your biometrics. Let’s talk about it. So like you guys, Ranma has come to me and shown me the little video of the raccoons dancing on the trampoline at night and thought it was real.

Because most people are naive to how good AI is actually getting. Every day, people send me videos that after a little bit of scrutiny, I determined that no, that’s actually fake. However, sometimes they get past the CP bullshit filter. Now I was listening to somebody I thought was a real person, Yannis Varoufakis. He is a financial commentator, a former Greek politician, fairly well known. I sent a video to a friend of mine saying, hey, you should watch this video. Very insightful. This is Yannis at his best. I thought it was so dense with information.

I thought, man, I’m really stupid. Yannis is much smarter than me. And English isn’t even his first language. My buddy listened to this for a while. And he said that at one part of the video, the guy stopped speaking in his Greek accent. And the AI must have screwed up. And he started speaking in his American accent. And when defaults accelerate, the losses will cascade through the system in ways that regulators don’t fully understand. Jamie Diamond, the CEO of JP Morgan, the largest bank in America, said he expects problems in private credit and warned there could be hell to pay if retail investors gain access to this asset class.

So it was determined, of course, that this was in fact AI. And if you go down to the description, this is what it says. This is a fan made channel that is not affiliated with Yannis Veroufakis. What that means is that they’re monetizing using his likeness to say things that he might not necessarily agree with. The videos are inspired by Veroufakis public statements, because we want to make money. They left that part out. It’s for educational informational purposes only. A synthesized voice is used and does not belong to Yannis visual lip syncing and dubbing narration are included solely to enhance clarity, create a cinematic experience and make the content more engaging.

Our aim is to present Veroufakis economic and geopolitical perspectives in a way that is accessible and understandable to a wider audience. We also strive to make his ideas available to viewers who are deaf and hard of hearing. Of course, they got to appeal to disabilities to make themselves seem morally righteous, even though they’re just a bunch of con artists, because they know that the majority of people, 90% of people aren’t going to go down and read this description. And that is proven when you go and read the comments on these videos.

One comment said something like, why does your voice change at such and such timestamp? But there wasn’t any accusation that it was AI, which clearly that was a dead giveaway. It was if people are so credulous to what is mostly innocuous information, what happens when that information is more harmful? What happens when it’s politically charged as it most certainly will be? Well, obviously, we know that society is already very divided as a result of social media and the polarizing algorithms. This is only going to make it 10 times worse. Projections show the consumer grade and even hardware detection technology will be dropping below 5% reliability by the end of 2026.

Advances in physics based rendering and style transfer are about to make full indistinguishable ability the default. That’s the word of the day. In distinguish ability. The fact is visual inspection is dying. And the experts are saying we only have six to 12 months left before not only is it indistinguishable to the naked eye, but to the advanced detection systems. I also wanted to do this because although this hasn’t happened to me yet, people have sent me funny AI generated videos using Sora to how’s it going guys. Canadian prepper Nate here. Yes, the big guy today returning this freeze dried filet mignon from freeze dry wholesalers into a five star meal, even in a grid down situation, but eventually there’s going to be impersonation and possibly defamation.

And this is going to be something that affects everybody. So I just want people to know that I will only ever upload on this channel and the prepper news channel and in the run up to the government rolling out digital ID and forcing it on all of us. We’re going to have to have some sort of way to authenticate this so that you guys know who you’re talking to. But there’s also a flip side to that. It cast out basically on anything that you’re seeing. So it’s all ambiguous and open to interpretation.

So a real video might come out and somebody can just say, well, that’s just AI that wasn’t me. How are you going to prove it? Obviously, there might be some forensic tools to do that. But in the public’s mind, there’s plausible deniability. This is all made worse by the fact that most of the social media platforms nowadays have the infinite scroll feature people are less and less consulting with the description of videos, or even going into the comment section. If you’re on a short reel, it’s very unlikely that you’re going to actually be going and reading the descriptions.

In fact, it’s harder to access the description on a short content video. The whole purpose is to keep you engaged, keep you attentive. They don’t want you to break it up by going and interacting with the video. So this makes it less likely that you’re going to scrutinize the information. Considering that most people, quite frankly, are uncritically minded NPCs, can you imagine how easily this technology is going to be weaponized? The most important piece of emergency gear you can own is food. You can’t stockpile enough of stuff. This is going to be currency after disaster strikes.

Freeze-Ride food is far and away the preferred source of sustenance for preppers. It lasts 25 years, it retains all the nutrients, and unlike dehydrated and canned, the texture is amazing. Freeze-Ride wholesalers has decades worth of experience in the food industry, serving everyone from the boots on the ground war fighters all the way up to the high command in nuclear submarines. If you want hundreds of varieties of different Freeze-Ride food, go through the link in the description below and use the coupon code that’s exclusive to Canadian Prepper viewers that will give you 15% off.

I would recommend every few weeks or a month, buy a few varieties, put them in your pantry, set it, and forget it. And if you ever come on hard times, you know that in the very least, you have high-quality food at the ready. As I said, the experts are claiming that indistinguishability will become a problem by the end of 2026, if not much sooner. Now, forensic labs can still catch fakes today, using heartbeat-induced skin colour, changes in embedded metadata, and watermarks, hitting a 98% accuracy in controlled tests, but those detection rates are collapsing.

So the professional tests which require a lab and a bunch of very skilled people, that’s still around 98% and falling. For the rest of us, the detection tools that are available, it’s around 5%. So basically, this creates an arms race, a game of cat and mouse, where it’s the bad guys who are trying to make deep fakes and AI impersonation, and the detectors and the forensics teams who are trying to identify it. The bad guys are probably in this respect always going to be a few steps ahead. So because me and you are not going to be able to discern in any way if what we’re seeing is real, we’re going to need somebody to tell us if it’s real.

That is when reality policing rears its ugly head. But who gets to determine what’s real and what’s not? We’re switching from human judgment to tech verification in the next few months, whether we like it or not. Now, what can you do for the next few months in order to try to discern what’s real and what’s not? Well, I guess there’s a few little tricks. But honestly, this ain’t gonna work for much longer. They say that if you zoom in to the eyes, there can be some odd saccadic movements, which is eyes moving back and forth.

Real eyes have tiny blood vessels and wet reflections that shift naturally. And deep fakes will actually turn your teeth into a smooth white blob, or repeat edge artifacts. Now, one of the best methods of visual detection is if you turn the volume down, and you just watch it muted, you’ll notice that there’s some oddities, you don’t really see it when the volumes on because you’re distracted by what you’re hearing. But if you mute the sound and you watch the lips alone, but if the mouth looks slightly off for a little too robotic perfect, that’s usually a dead giveaway.

Also, if the person seems to just be doing this filibuster, I mean sitting in the same spot, speaking with pinpoint precision for extended periods of time, which seem inhuman, it probably is. Another trick is to scrub the timeline a bit, make it go fast forward and in reverse. Notice in the space that surrounds the subject, fake backgrounds are going to shimmer a little bit, objects might appear and vanish. So what is a societal fallout if nothing can be determined to be real by individuals? We’re in an era where everything is fake until proven otherwise.

This really will be the apogee of digital postmodernism, impersonation, defamation, weaponized division, all of it explodes in 2026. Nobody reads descriptions, everybody just reacts and reposts. So what is the solution going to be? Digital capture, or something more ominous? Governments are already stepping into varying degrees across the world. There is one problem with government intervention. Right now, there is an AI arms race. So the governments of the world don’t want to do anything that might disrupt their nation state getting a technological edge over the competition. In the US, they have new federal and state laws criminalizing nonconsensual deepfakes.

But Donald Trump’s executive order that was just signed on December 11 in 2025 is designed to crush state level rules that stifle innovation, innovation being put ahead of the quality of information. Now in the EU, the AI act treats deepfakes as high risk starting in 2026. This is going to force machine readable labels and provenance tracking. Provenance is basically a fancy word for a record of ownership. Where did that piece of content originate? China has been slightly more proactive. They’ve required visible and metadata labels on all AI content since September of 2025.

And as you can appreciate, everything that might go against the politics of the reigning party is quickly erased. Now the tool that most of these countries is betting on to mitigate this problem is something called C2PA. These are basically invisible content credentials. Here’s how it works. The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity or C2PA provides an open technical standard for publishers, creators and consumers that publish the origin and edits of digital content. Think of it like a nutrition label for reality. Now in theory, this technology should work. However, there is a draconian aspect to its implementation because the next logical step for mandating C2PA is mandating who can create it.

What we’re talking about here is the inability to upload content onto the internet unless you prove that you’re a real human being. This means digital ID. This is tantamount to taking a breathalyzer or pissing in a cup every time you want to go online. Inevitably, platforms are going to have to require this for video uploads because that’s the only way you’re going to be able to prove that something is human. So what started off as amusing AI slop is ultimately going to beget the end of anonymity and more centralized government control.

So what does this mean for us? It means that we need to be exceptionally critical of what we’re viewing from this point forward. I’m talking about today forward because every week it gets better and better. Let’s just say a theoretical situation. You get a message on your phone and it looks like Donald Trump and he’s telling you that nuclear weapons are inbound. Could you imagine the level of pandemonium and chaos that could be caused by something like that? The potential for hacking and social disruption is going to be absolutely immense. In the next few months, we are entering unchartered territory.

It’s going to become impossible for you as an individual to verify whether or not what you’re seeing is real or whether it’s a fabrication. Ultimately, the government will have the final say on what is real or what isn’t. Now, this is usually the part of the video where I propose a solution, but beyond just being excessively critical, I don’t have a solution. Is this going to lead to a mass exodus from social media? Unfortunately, I don’t think so. I think people are going to be perfectly content playing in the matrix. And what could potentially happen is people don’t care if what they’re seeing is real or not.

The current social media and infinite scroll algorithms have caused so many social problems. Imagine that amped up on steroids times 100. That is what the AI metaverse is going to be. Perhaps this is all the more reason to have a plan to get off the grid indefinitely. Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe. Canadianprepar out.
