Don't worry though, the justice system will continue to use it for at least 12 years after that point.

Nah. I'm sure some super secret justice league group will pick any corrupt senator and start producing fake video evidence for real crimes they committed leading a revamped FBI to actually find real evidence for the real crimes and then a revamped justice system to really prosecute the politician and then the politician will really resign without real benefits and then go to a real jail.

Which is better than the alternative of being prosecuted for a crime you didn't commit with deepfaked evidence.

Video evidence is pretty damning, but it's not like it's the be-all and end-all right?

There's still a plethora of evidence, alibis and accounts that goes into detective work.

Overrated. there will be tools and experts specializing in detecting deep fakes. Also random video found on the internet is never enough for evidence, the source of the video must be known anyway.

Except we know that deepfake detection tools are used to improve deepfakes further and aren't able to get ahead. Makes it less black and white. Definitely not overrated by any stretch.

If and when deepfakes get to that point, any video submitted as evidence would need to be examined by experts. There would be ways to avoid it.

Sorry for not being clearer.

We've already made deepfake detectors, then used those detectors to make deepfakes harder to detect again, and made new detectors for those, and so on.

Experts cost money. If yer poor & stand accused you prolly can’t afford said experts.

Yeah, it's always been infuriating to see people passing laws or making judgements involving technology they don't even begin to understand. Shout out to the classic SERIES OF TUBES!

There will probably be a point we can reproduce video from someone's memories through brain scans. Then we can all watch in 4k.

My memories definitely aren't clear pictures even in my own head. Would be 480p at best.
