Humans are usually what matters, and the hardest thing to fake. CGI has been good for a while, but up until recently, if you showed me a video of a person speaking, it'd generally be pretty easy to tell if it was really them or was fake. Now, it's not so sure, and it doesn't take a hundred million dollar Hollywood budget to fake a person speaking, it just takes a 600$ GPU. Look at Tarkin in Rogue One. Incredibly expensive and detailed animation, months of professional animator time, multiple passes and reviews and changes, huge budget... and you can still tell it's CG. And that wasn't even that long ago. Now I can make a convincing video of Elon Musk telling you to buy some shitcoin in 5 minutes in my basement. The more people and resources it takes to fake something, the harder it is to keep a secret. Also - when editing photos became easy, we could always step it up to video for 'proof' - if deepfakes and video generation become easy, what do we step it up to? What's beyond video? I'm not saying the sky will fall in - digital photo editing didn't end the world - but it is definitely a different situation than before and deserves consideration.
