Ai bots threaten the digital canoeing world

I've noticed recently that several cable TV shows that talk about science, future science, even history are now showing a small circle with the letters "AI" on scenes showing re-enactments or predicted outcomes, maybe the entire entertainment industry (including social media) needs to adopt this idea as it would remove any doubts as to authenticity

I agree, it is particularly disturbing when inaccurate AI generated images of the past are presented when correct or original images are readily available. The frequently shared one shown below is especially annoying to me,

I have found AI to be useful when researching legislation and legal history. Also for some scientific explanation or basic technical instructions. But it's important to remember that AI tends to hallucinate (just as bad as humans), so everything has to be read with a critical eye - especially with anything that might be political in nature. As for the bots, they currently have tells. My fear is that they'll get so good that the tells are no longer apparent.
