In a certain way, I find the fact that everybody can make deepfakes positive for society.
Because we will finally stop trusting videos and images as a reliable proof, when they clearly aren't all the time.

- krapp 7y agoNo, we won't. People already know videos and images can be faked, but they still trust whatever they want to be true as a post-hoc validation of their existing prejudice, not as the result of a rational attempt to judge evidence on its own merits. Just look on Youtube for various "paranormal" videos, things like "real proof" of reptilians, ghosts, aliens, etc. Most of those videos are laughably fake looking, but people who already believe in these things take them as gospel, anyway. Politically speaking, look at Pizzagate as another example. Whether or not you believe the "evidence" tends to depend on what you already believe about Democrats/progressives/leftists/the Clintons.
