>"There was huge concern right away that you’d have videos appear in a political context that could change the course of an election or lead to political violence. But none of that has transpired."
This kind of "it hasn't happened yet so it won't" dismissal of the ever-closer ability to create a perfect fake video of X person saying this or that is so myopic I feel like it doesn't even deserve elaboration as to why it is wrong, we should skip straight to mockery and derision. We've already had multiple cases of fake Biden and fake Trump videos posted to the internet with hundreds of thousands of views before any kind of clarification came to indicate they were fake.[1] 2024 will put this to the test, and I have little confidence that this will remain the case.
