I agree, it was fake news articles on Facebook that spread false information but it took desperately ignorant people to believe it for the consequent chaos to ensue. So while deepfake videos are scary, I think what we have to really worry about is the deep ignorance of the voters.
- maxxxxx 7y agoFrom my observation I believe that a lot of educated and less educated people don’t really care if something is fake as long it confirms their opinions. They don’t want to let go of their “facts” although they know they are wrong.
- dylan604 7y agoIsn't the deep ignorance of the voters the entire point of a deep fake? It's knowingly a fake, so by creating it you are already trying to pull one over on someone. When the president of the US can say "I never said that" even with video/audio evidence of him saying it while also screaming about deep fakes, the slippery slope is being greased. It's not hard to believe that viewers that only get information from a single source will fall for it. Even if they hear arguments it is fake, they will not research it on their own because their single source is never wrong.
