I liked the video of the Jews of AI, against Kanye, and we should all be terrified of him

I also felt attracted to the video.

See celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld and Mike Bloomberg channel My Rage and give a middle finger to Kanye West after his most recent anti -Semitic spree, which included selling a swastika shirt, the video gave me hope and made me feel less only in a terrifying moment. .

I also felt encouraged to see some Jewish celebrities who had not previously spoken against anti -Semitism doing it for the first time.

But it was not real. The video was made by a high -tech Israeli entrepreneur using AI – Which means that he revealed much more about his spectators than anyone who appeared in him.

And what he revealed is that our will as Jews to suspend disbelief offers evidence of our lasting hope, and a warning sign of a new danger we face today.

Since October 7, 2023, and even before, the Jews have understood what the prophet Balaam said in the book of numbers: “This is a people who live alone.” The Jews have felt a deep sense of isolation and despair. Their hearts have broken, so they use those hearts in their sleeves.

It is not surprising that the Jews Amen and share the video. We want to believe we defend ourselves. We want to believe that famous people care about us.

But, in fact, many in the entertainment industry have kept silent since October 7. The video, therefore, is not real, but it is a prayer: if only these famous people use their mass social capital and talk.

We are free to love and share it, stirring the fact that it is a fiction, but we do it under our own danger. The video is dangerous. He could easily play in the hands of anti -Semites, who will accuse the Jews of falsifying public support proclamations.

In addition, if AI could create a video that supports the Jews, it could create videos with the same ease as the Jews, which offer false video evidence of Israeli actions in the West Bank, as well as Jewish perfidy in other places. We would be wrapped in blood pounds induced by AI.

Consider what ravages this could cause with the memory of the Holocaust; I shudder when thinking about how anti -Semites and Holocaust denials could manipulate the image of Anne Frank. Or how could manipulate images and videos of rabbis. This is the ethical category of Genevat Daat, disappointment, literally “stealing the mind.” The collective mind will not know what hit him.

And this is the deepest challenge: AI is making it increasingly impossible to know what is real. Chat GPT is making it more and more impossible to know who (or what) wrote something.

This is a universal challenge, and is an existential issue of the first order.

Then, of course. “Enough is enough,” from the war against the Jews.

But, also, “enough is enough”, of the war against truth. AI is a main weapon in that war, and we will all be its casualties. When reality itself becomes infinitely malleable; When we can no longer trust our senses; When someone can invent any narrative of the past, present and presumably future, and produce “computer evidence” of that false narrative, we will have lost the civilization itself.

At that time, anti -Semitism will be among the least problems.
