I remember an episode of the Olde Time Radio show "The Shadow" where Lamont and Margo attend a trial as audience members. This is in the 1930s // 1940s for context. The prosecution projected a film with audio [cutting edge technology at the time] demonstrating the crimes in question [bribery and related charges]. Lamont ['The Shadow'] was able to hear the audio and read lips at the same time and figure out that what was heard was not was what said. "Believe half of what you see, and nothing you hear" was his takeaway. As the story goes, that's what happened. The film shown at court was dubbed for audio by a hired guy who did great vocal impersonations. The accused was innocent. Short story long: deep fakes aren't a new idea. 100 years and counting. Same trick, different tools.
