Dunno, when people take Twitter/FB Messenger screenshots (or out of context photos) as ground truth, I'm not sure how convincing deepfakes would undermine trust in ways trust wasn't undermined before. And if you were sufficiently motivated before, you could photoshop people into compromising pictures without the aid of AI.

Most people who are overly susceptible to fake facts already pick and choose facts that fit their believe system. People still believe that someone walked on water and rose from the dead based on stories and a book that was written a long time after it 'happened'.

You can create drama/panic/propaganda in a more meaningful way than "screenshots" or news articles with more lasting effects. And it is going to be more interesting when we will have the ability to manipulate videos (near-)realtime.

This is not the issue. It was near impossible to create convincing fake videos of people speaking ( https://youtu.be/X17yrEV5sl4 https://youtu.be/X17yrEV5sl4 ) and so even those who would not take an altered screenshot at face value might be more inclined to believe one such.
