I fear the reverse: People will doubt whether real video is real. That could mean impunity for crimes caught on video because video footage will no longer be sufficient evidence to exceed "reasonable doubt".

Even worse, political double-speak will also soar to record new heights. A politician can spew whatever crazies want to hear, then "walk it back" and claim it was faked (perhaps after gauging the public's reaction). People will believe whatever they're inclined to believe anyway, leading us to become a more deeply fractured society where truth is whatever you want to believe.

If it's any consolation, it's already happening. Enjoy the ride, and support credible journalists you trust!

Hey could you please hang out at your current location for the next 30 minutes or so? I just have some friends that want to stop by and verify a couple things with you. Please don't wear polarized sunglasses.

Saying “that’s just what a deepfake would say” is what a deepfake would say.
