I think we'll have a decade of chaos but not because of this. A lot of stories during the election cycle in news media and on the internet were simply Democratic or Republican "fan fiction". I don't want to make this political, I only illustrate this example to say, that I was burned in believing some of these things and you develop the muscle pretty quickly. Tweets, anecdotes, images and even stories reported by "reputable" media companies already require a degree of critical thinking.

I haven't really believed in aliens existing on earth for most of my adult life. However, I have sort of come around to at least entertaining the idea in recent years but would need solid photographic or video evidence. I am now convinced that aliens could basically land in broad daylight in 3 years while being heavily photographed and it would easily be able to be explained away as AI. Especially if governments want to do propaganda or counter propaganda.
