The facts of the situation are definitely not that exciting but the significance of the story itself is pretty monumental. Just the fact that such ordinary people are caught up in public uncertainty about the authenticity of media depicting very ordinary human stuff, all because of the ubiquity of a bunch of < 10 year old tech... this is the tip of a massive very messy iceberg.

We’re not that far off from every 14 year old being able to do this on their phone.

The rising millennial generation is not ready for the chaos their progeny is about to unleash on the world.

Agreed. If I had the power to make deep fakes as a child I might have landed at least 3 people in prison, and had charges put on multiple people I just didn't like.
