For a while video was a holdout of sorts - e.g. if someone posted video content of themselves or their voice you could trust a real person was behind it.

But now convincing fake video generation is easily accessible, so one more holdout stands to fall.

It does seem like some kind of ID system is going to be the only way. Sucky but inevitable.

I often have the following thought: technological advancement, for all its boons, inevitably leads down destructive roads in the long run. Sooner or later we open a pandora's box.
