While the technique does make fraudulent videos easier to make, I don't see this in and of itself as that fatal to public trust. Faking content to hurt someone has been around forever. We then learned not to trust gossip, not to trust uncorroborated sources, etc.

I hope it might actually help people be more skeptical of what they're reading and seeing. And hopefully it will help news media be more skeptical of their sources as well. If that doesn't happen then this will be a disaster.

Somewhat ironically, I feel a citation is needed here.

Makes me think of the phrase "pics or it didn't happen".

Granted it was a lot more common before photoshop-style software was everywhere.

The video by itself will be shortly a medium what noone believes as ground truth, just as a written word or a drawing is now. We should be able to construct better cameras with tamperproof footage. But not sure how, as with realtime editing we cannot trust trivial things like secure timestamping. Secure video blockchain anyone?

If it needed any more proof (than facebook, fox, ads, gov propaganda...) that this never happened, I think the Trump debacle should be final evidence this is fantasy.
