TLDR

A randomized experiment designed to study the effect of exposure to media manipulations on over 15,000 individuals' ability to discern machine-manipulated media finds sizable and robust evidence that individuals learn to detect fake content through exposure to manipulated media when provided iterative feedback on their detection attempts.

Abstract

Technologies for manipulating and faking online media may outpace people's ability to tell the difference.
