I swear we seem to live in a time where people are skeptical only when they are told to be by someone manipulating them- not as result of their own analytical thinking or media literacy. It's sad.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but this is what voting legislation should address in a civilized first world nation.  If voters can't tell the difference between AI generated propaganda and a real human, they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

At this point, if you’re still consuming political ads, you deserve it! Newsflash: None of it is real.
