>>It will lead to . . . less trust in media Trust in media is already very low, and in fact should go lower. Deepfake tech exists, and the fact that it does, and is broadly available to bad actors, should be widely known. Obviously the best case by far is that such weapons (in this case disinformation weapons) do not exist, but the worst case is them existing but hidden — THAT is the recipe for fooling people in the greatest numbers. These tools existing, with widespread knowledge of their existence is sort of the least-worst case for the real world in which we live. Yes this does have the potential to kill pretty much anything related to video and photography (everything from art to news to documentation), but that was the same when spam was a literal threat to existence of email. Unless we manage it, video and photography will be trusted for nothing but boring amusement; but better than than mass deception.
