The thing is that five years ago this stuff did not exist full stop. Five years from now it's going to be massively better. And societal institutions just don't respond to external shocks in five years, modern governance institutions are just not wired for it (e.g. the US Senate has six-year terms, Supreme Court terms are 30-40 years). So it's basically a complete inevitability that society will not be able to handle this, and in four years we'll probably see an election where a deepfaked video massively swings public sentiment (e.g. one of the candidates saying the n-word or something), and eight years from now, an authentic video of a candidate actively conspiring to commit a crime will be dismissed as a "deepfake" because of the experiences of four years earlier. How is a society governed when Western Englightenment ideals of logic and reason have failed due to the inability to have any axiomatic truths? The way that societies were governed before the Englightenment -- religious fundamentalism and "might makes right."
