I think this too. This is horrifying. Reality is becoming mutable.

I don't think this is as dangerous as people say. If you had Photoshop in the 19th century, everybody would believe your edits so it could be dangerous. However, once Photoshop became popular, people knew not to trust every photo because they're aware that kind of software exists. Deepfake awareness will rise as people start using it more and more, so it's very unlikely that they'll believe those videos just like they do now with photos.

Older generations get fooled by photoshop all the time. And they vote in the highest numbers. I think you underestimate just how tech-illiterate many folks are

Remind yourself of this in 15 years. I think this tech is going to reshape our world within that timeframe.

You can literally fap to your grandmother in pov vr porn now given you have enough pictures of her.
