Not really accurate. To do a good face swap, I have to find a photo of the victim and a photo of the "scenario" that line up pretty well to start with. That search can take minutes, hours, or for less famous people, even months.
Then, in PS with those two photos, i can do a cut an paste and some cloning and get a reasonable output in maybe an hour or two.
So, days to months v. literally 20 seconds.
Now say I want a 100 of those deepfakes to bomb twitter with. Now we're talking about a months to years long effort compared to an afternoon.
Your eliding the effects of speed and scale here are familiar. I've been seeing young people make this mistake on HN for about 15 years.
