What is Synthetic Media?
Synthetic media is a blanket term for any media that is artificially generated, modified, or manipulated, especially with artifical intelligence in the modern age. The earliest devices for synthetic media however date back to ancient Greece, with inventions from Hero of Alexandria designed to make sound, write text, and play music. They are all considered synthetic as the noises and sounds they create were dependent on their designs and the fact that those devices could not create their own content.
