It doesn’t even have to be technically good. Even a crudely doctored image falsely showing McCain meeting al-Baghdadi has been getting traction in the internet and in Freerepublic among the other places.
I expect to see the day when everyone will be able to create their own digital world that will be nearly indistinguishable from the physical. Virtual reality still needs some work, but mostly it’s about computing power. It’s just a matter of time.
If you thought internet addict was bad now, just wait.
One of those Deep Fake video editors was posted on Reddit, became wildly popular because of its ease of use, then got “banned” from Reddit. I downloaded a copy of it, tried it, thought it was quite good and somehow lost the download. Wish I could remember what the name of it was. It was as easy to use as Windows Movie Maker, which was quite shocking for everything it did.
Trying to come up with a retroactive excuse in advance for the contents of the Weiner laptop.

The sex videos of Hillary have someone worried and looking for a cover story
I think it would be wise for someone in the conservative camp to prepare a technically well-done but clearly ridiculous video of a liberal in a porn film, like Hilary or Maxine, (or the two of them in a lesbian scene), and hold it in their pocket against the day someone bursts forth with an anti-conservative fake, in order to be able to immediately show how easily it can be done, and that we were expecting this.

I predict a return to cellulose for film tracing. Videos and video evidence don’t know how it can be a verification anymore without a simple physical copy.
You may notice that there was virtually no mention of deepfakes until after March 6, 2018. In that date a certain somebody stated there is a very damning video of HRC coming. Suddenly there has been a steady flow of “deep fake” news stories.
