Let's face it, while all of those Baka Mitai and We Just Wiped Tomatotown memes are really funny, that's on the really low-end of what's possible with deepfaking. It's not 2010 anymore, and TRON Legacy's de-aging of Jeff Bridges is nowhere near the peak of making a believable human face in software.
Remember when CNN faked all of that Gulf War footage in the early 90s, using a blue backdrop in a warehouse, an air-pusher, a couple fake plants, and a man who is WAY too calm to be in a warzone?
Pepperidge Farm Remembers.
Barring all of the other times that's happened, what's stopping them from outright faking it all, down to the footage and people themselves? The Media hasn't been beholden to any laws regarding lying or propaganda since Obama signed NDAA 2013, effectively rendering the Smith-Mundt Act inert, so they absolutely can do it and make a clean getaway. The question isn't whether or not they will do it, but have they done it, and if yes, for how long have they been doing it? I already watch the news and decide that the opposite of everything they're saying is more than likely the truth, but golly goshdamn does it seem like we're really about to enter the Matrix. They can fake voices, they can fake people, they've been able to fake backdrops for decades, so I really don't think this is a tinfoil situation.
Where do you think this is being used? Do you have any examples?
