  1. Alt for xkcd comic: Two people in a conversation. Person A: Thanks to deepfakes, soon we won’t know what’s real anymore. Video will become meaningless. Person B: I dunno. We’ve had Photoshop for decades and staged photos for centuries. It hasn’t made photos meaningless. 1/3 @xkcd/1551788664782553088

      B: The bottleneck for fake stuff isn’t technical. The bottleneck is willingness to lie. “People lying” is a very old problem. It’s a known exploit. A: I guess technically we’ve been able to make text deepfakes for 5,000 years. 2/3

        B: Maybe Ea-nasir’s copper ingots were actually fine! Caption: If so great a deductive mind as Arthur Conan Doyle can be fooled by the Cottingley Deepfakes, what chance do we mortals have? Soon our very reality will be dictated by the whims of Frances (9) and Elsie (16). 3/3
