In a way this isn’t actually a new thing. Throughout most of human history there was nothing like a photograph and it was always possible to fake paintings and other depictions of anything.

It’s only this very narrow window of recent history when photos have existed and been broadly considered “proof” of reality while being difficult to forge. This time now appears to be coming to an end.

I'm reminded of the aliens on Galaxy Quest who had no conception of lying, and were all but unable to identify or understand it. Rationally, we may know that pictures and videos are not to be trusted, but we will never stop getting taken in, like an optical illusion.
