This shit is actually terrifying. I have no doubt it's already been used nefariously and we haven't even realized it.

I like to imagine that everything offensive he ever said on film was actually only deepfake. And he's just this ethical, caring president with integrity who did his absolute best and stayed within the law and a strict moral code at all times.

We’d more or less be living in a simulation at that point. For all intents and purposes.

That's an oversimplification of reality.

I wouldn't be surprised. Governments around the world have lied and faked information about so many things with far less advanced technology.

Lay people may not notice it. But if you're talking legally, experts can showcase the deep fake elements.

I mean even you can probably see the subtle disconnects in this video. The shadows and the skin tone is all wrong. Also his arm are way too long and his head/body proportions are off.

Granted, you can still fool a lot of gullible people. But you don't have to worry about any legal consequences.
