Something that comes up a lot on the deepfakes sub is the notion that this should make people more skeptical. They use the phrase "If anything can be real, nothing is real" and I think it makes a lot of sense.

That's not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes it's necessary for people to believe something factual. Blanket skepticism can be very destructive in these cases.
