I don't agree. If I didn't know that was a deepfake, there is no way I would guess that it is. It's more than good enough to convince me.

I'm with you. If this article was titled, "unbroadcasted footage of Nixon speech found in archive" I would've bought that headline 100%.

This is too good.

This is going to cause problems. Many, many problems.

We already have issues with what is real and what isn't, when you can still trust video for the most part. I am not excited to see what this does to society.

It's one of those - just because we can, does that mean we should - sort of scenarios.

Absolutely agreed. I’d really love to be able to talk to someone who works on stuff like this, like from all those companies mentioned in the article, and ask them why they continue to advance the state of this art? Do they think it is inevitable? Are they just integrating many separate features used to create entertainment like CGI/dubbed movies?

We’re opening Pandora’s box like a kid on Christmas morning.
