AI fakes duel over impeachment of Vice-President in Phillipines

Realistic AI video generation will put us firmly in a post-truth era. If those videos were 25% more realistic it would be indistinguishable from a real interview.

The speed with which you’ll be able to create and disseminate propaganda is mind blowing. Imagine what a 3 letter agency could do with their level of resources.

I don't agree. 3 letter agencies have been able to fake videos since the inception of videos. Even more so with CGI.

It has always been about trust in the authors.

The main difference is petty fakes would be cheap. I.e. my wife could be shown a fake portraying me for whatever malicious reasons.

You're being obtuse. There's an obvious difference between "state-level actors can produce misleading films" and "anyone with an internet connection and 5 minutes can make anything they want".
