What Does 'Deepfake Fatigue' Mean?

Brainrot Score: 6.7 β“˜EMERGING
[ SLANG ][ AI ][ NOUN ]

The exhausted, semi-numb reaction people develop after being fooled by (or constantly warned about) AI-generated fake video and audio so often that the initial alarm wears off into weary suspicion of everything.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"I have such bad deepfake fatigue at this point that I just assume every viral clip is fake until proven otherwise."

LORE & ORIGIN

Modeled on other 'fatigue' terms describing burnout from repeated exposure to the same stressor, applied specifically to the psychological toll of no longer being able to trust video evidence at a glance.
