The Deep State began pushing "deepfakes" ever since POTUS and others have indicated their actions are going to be exposed. In the article above a deepfake of Obama is prominent featured. SO they are working hard to train the public that evidence exposing Loretta Lynch talking to Bill Clinton, or Hillary, Obama et. al. HAS TO BE TREATED AS FAKE. THat's their story and they are sticking to it.

On other websites some point out that deepfakes may be persuasive if the public or listens to them, but the technology to create them is easily exposed by forensic analysis. But of course, the Deep State on both sides of the aisle will scream that an objective analysis is of course partisan and insist their partisan analyst examine it (and find it flawless).

Whatever is coming, they are terrified.

it’ll get to the point where nothing in media is trusted as real. But this is not new because as it is media provides a lot of entertainment and deep fake will be seen as just that. It’s all there for our entertainment.

This is not good. There are millions of individuals who see nothing wrong with propagating lies. They have no principles, and will use this technology for the wrong purpose, not the right.

Never fails. The moment a new technology comes out, it’s used for the WRONG reason, not the right one. Email: inboxes full of spam when email became common. Telephone caller id: deliberately wrong numbers displayed as soon as it became possible to choose the number that is displayed.

There’s no reason to think this will be used for good purposes.

The rules will just change is all, like they did when photocopiers, video tape, and other innovations happened.

People will simply not give credibility to images or videos without provenance, much like we do when we watch a movie and find it entertaining even though it’s all CGI.

And maybe (way out on a limb here) it will force people to develop better critical thinking skills. Who hasn’t received a forwarded story or video or whatever from a friend who was suckered into thinking it was real and sending it on. Before they became political, Snopes was one place people would go to check things out, now there’s really no place you can trust other than your own common sense and internet searches. So maybe when deepfakes are as common as photoshops, people will do their homework before deciding what to believe rather than accepting even a convincing video on face value.

The leftist, satanic corporate media is obviously trying to get ahead of the curve, before all the elite-pedo pictures are released, engineering the “deep fake” narrative.

Seems like there would be an easy way to institute a verification check to approve large money transfers.

Like the CFO calling the CEO to verify?

I have been telling my friends for over a year now to get ready for a video of Trump using the “N” word. There must be some sleazy libs working in their parents basement creating a Deep fake video.
