This is such a great post! I really love your formatting and how you work through the SIFT process directly. As sad as I am that Caleb is not (yet) officially Miles Morales, this is a really great example. A claim like that can be so easily believable!! I appreciate that you mention that there isn’t really a full proof way to prevent misinformation from becoming a part of our knowledge base, but there are steps to make it less likely. I always feel conflicted when it comes to certain AI content because I know that I don’t want to interact with it but there is probably benefit to seeing how it is evolving and what it is capable to creating and doing. People like to joke about how instead of actually looking anything up pre-google, they would just ask the closest older relative and they would give you a maybe-correct answer and they have to live with that information for the rest of their life. It kind of feels like we are dealing with that but everyone on the internet is that relative and it’s not even for questions we ask, often it is just what is put in front of us algorithmically. Great post!

Hey! First of all, I absolutely love the way you formatted your blog post and the images you incorporated. This was a very interesting and engaging read. Like you say in the beginning, I too scroll through X, Instagram, and other social medias, also taking in information “without question” as you put it. I really liked how you compared this to breaking a barrier in our mind. It’s something that I feel I should be more mindful about. I really like the example and guide you created showing how simple misinformation can be, such as the false spiderman casting. Mindlessly scrolling can lead you to believe things that aren’t even close to being true, so I liked how you explained to research and find the misinformation.
