seems to be a prevailing argument against deepfakes being anything to worry about.
What will happen when there is a realtime crisis where quick decisions are required and suddenly, amongst the other noise, there is believable CCTV footage of X or an inflammatory statement by Y or any of a hundred bad actor insertions into the fog of war that disrupts a nation state OODA loop output in the real world where bombs are dropped and people are killed in response to what, too late and only after the fact, is determined to be a deepfake. Assuming that any effort at look back retrospection is made - which is by no means at all certain.
The ability to stage things with a Hollywood studio and VFX team was with us before now, yes, but the ability to have any joker with a GPU on the fly invent footage to meet the realtime and flammable story of the moment is new.
Oh, there is an Indonesian submarine that went missing in Bali yesterday? Well here is footage from an Indian trawler showing a Russian boat acting suspiciously in the area.
Good luck unpeeling that onion while you are in a hurry.
