AI and Mainstream Media - The Movie

Turning off the TV and tuning inwards

Robito Chatwin

Mar 03, 2024

I enjoy part-time video editing when the mood arises, and when I have a message to share. Above is a film I created back in 2016.

The purpose of the film was to make the audience ‘aware of the extent to which we are unaware’ that we are being unconsciously manipulated by our media - and to really hammer home a serious argument for turning off the TV as a realistic solution.

The film takes us on an in depth journey through how the human mind is being shaped using psychological techniques to tap into our emotions - our deepest wants, fears and desires - in order to influence our behaviours and beliefs.

The film also shows how news media deliberately manufacture propaganda.

And this all back in 2016 before today’s manufactured food, energy and fuel crises, today’s manufactured crisis of gender, and before the most fabricated narrative and crisis of them all - Covid.

What crisis would there have been during Covid if people had not been watching TV? Think about that. The power the TV has!

I have long said that turning off the TV is truly the most powerful thing we could all do collectively to create positive change on the planet.

It was more of a ‘what if’ dream solution - because I never dreamt that AI would become the technology that could make that dream a reality.

Did anyone else notice that at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 there was a suspiciously coincidental sudden release of AI on the global population?

Features like AI Copilot for Microsoft Bing and AI Companion for Zoom were suddenly added without any warning.

And now anyone anywhere can create text and video content that is realistically authentic yet completely AI generated.

The new text to video AI technology:

With turning off the TV, I used to mean ‘tuning out of the mainstream narrative’.

But very soon we will no longer be able to know what media anywhere is human produced, and what is AI generated.

Here’s a very interesting interview with deepfake Tom Cruise aka Miles Fisher:

At the same time, we have big name celebrities sharing alternative media narratives like this one to millions of people around the globe:

And we have growing paranoia about these big name celebrities.

This is understandable when we can no longer trust our own eyes, and though I’m not personally worried whether Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson, Jimmy Dore, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are all ‘controlled opposition’ or not, we can ask ourselves what watching a video entitled ‘Tucker Just Dropped A BOMBSHELL And It's TERRIFYING’ is supposed to make us feel - terrified perhaps?

My film did not go into social media. But we are saturated with Tick Tock style media feeds and channels where we can scroll endless hours of ‘doom porn’ or ‘fear porn’ (as it’s now called) in both the mainstream and alternative space.

And much of that content in all spaces is with dubious sources, no sources or little corroboration.

My film shows media as a whole is making people more stressed, fearful, polarised, racist, sexist, violent and even abusive, which in turn increases depressive illness, human cruelty and environmental destruction through needless consumption and war.

Wow! But everything has a glass half full or a glass half empty perspective.

So as we are encouraged to embrace AI, are we willingly going to give our ability to ground ourselves in what is real or not completely away?

What if AI is the technology that pushes humanity to face that question? What if AI is the catalyst that causes masses of people to really see, like snapping out of the Matrix, that media is a narrative, a story, a creative expression - nothing more - and ultimately a distraction.

Films, books, podcasts, music can inspire us, move us and teach us a lot - which is great! But the point is: how often are we consuming media to appease feelings of boredom, unhappiness or discontent within ourselves?

Consciousness expansion content is just the same. Gaia TV is surely better for us than Netflix but how many videos do we need to watch about freedom is within us before we turn our focus inwards.

In my previous article I wrote about the building blocks..

Imagine planet Earth below the blocks to be that core of you. The natural state of you - connected with your inner truth - and each block is a piece of conditioning, socialisation or programming that takes you away from that true essence of you.

‘The awakening’ process is becoming conscious of your unconscious beliefs and habits, clearing stored stress and trauma, removing physical and emotional pain and healing physical and emotional wounds. It’s peeling off the onion layers.

It means spending time with yourself, expressing your creativity, getting into nature, and having fun.

It means listening to your intuition and letting the inner child come out play.

It means taking care of yourself and making time for downtime, relax time - a bath, sauna or massage.

It means connecting with those who help your light to shine.

It means self-love - your own oxygen mask comes first.

Underneath it all at your core, you are re-connecting with the amazingness of who and what you truly are, your innate super powers, and your true free self.

AI could be that force required to really get us all to stop turning to the external for answers and to instead take the time to get to know and learn to trust who we truly are.

As we know ourselves at the unconscious level, we are guided and we are kept safe, and we simply say no when we need to.

The 'system' and those running the show do not want that.

So do you give your understanding of what’s truth and what’s fiction away, or do you feel the calling to choose your own sovereignty?

Your own sovereignty means learning to trust you that no one knows better than you what’s best for you.

Because you're the one you’re waiting for. You free yourself within.

We Free Ourselves Within
