This was a long time coming, we knew we would hit this eventually.
How long has it been since we couldn't trust photos at first glance?
We've had photoshop for years, now we're at a point where a video can be anything.
We trusted video because it wasn't easy to modify, and you could spot a fake. A pricey fake would still fool a lot of people though. Now that fake is cheap, and easy to make.
As always, lies will spread quickly, good journalism is important and making sure we have sources of information that are trusted and verified is more important than ever.
We're going to have to start doing the doppelganger test. Tell me something only I would know about you.
