To no longer be able to trust video evidence is a big deal. Sure the sky isn't falling, but this is a massive step beyond what Photoshop enabled, and a major powerup for disinformation, which was already winning.
except that you still can trust video evidence if you examine the video carefully ... for now ...
All those tech CEOs met up with Trump makes me think this is a major reason for pouring money in to this technology. Any time Trump says "fake news", he can just say it is AI.
You couldn't "trust" video before sora et al. We had all these sightings of aliens and flying saucers - which stopped conveniently having an impact when everybody started carrying cameras around.
There will be a need to verify authenticity and my prediction is that need will be met.
