People with some degree of knowledge already know that any photo could be photoshopped. People that don't care will blindly trust a picture of someone with a quote or caption saying whatever, as long as it fits their narrative.
This has been the case for photos for almost 2 decades. The fact that you can now do it with video or audio doesn't change that much IMO.

- micromacrofoot 4y agoPhotos have been altered for much longer than 2 decades. Think of airbrushing models in magazines (used to be literal airbrushes painting over photos). This has had a serious impact on our perception of beauty and reality.
