Lol. What if [they] start growing your DNA from trash that you've discarded (saliva from a straw) and add irrefutable evidence scattered about where the camera was recording.

For all of the convenience that these modern innovations provide, that slight chance that they will be exploited for ill-gotten gains does seem plausible.

I think it's less that it will be used and more how easily it could be used. Sure, it's been possible to add/remove people from video for a while, but now it's becoming so easy and automated that every video will become a possible fake AND the average person will think it, not just the tech-savvy. Not sure that's 100% bad, I haven't really thought it through too much yet.
