In the next ten years, I think there's going to be plausible deniability that any person's presence in a video, and especially in audio, is actually representative of them. There's already imperfect transpositions of celebrity faces onto the bodies of other people.
I imagine it's going to have a big impact when it first gets rolled out to mimic someone on the political stage, and then people will use it to discount any audio or video they don't like.
