Once "deep-fakes" become mainstream - how long would it take for the public to become aware of them? A week? A month? Any fake video of consequences will be immediately ripped apart by mainstream and social media. Why would 'deep-fakes' be any worse than what is being done with CG today?
I do believe that some people will fall for them, but the damage won't be any worse than when people fall for shopped images and phishing emails. It's just something we have to deal with.
The real issue is a large number of people suddenly distrusting real video evidence rather than those few who were already susceptible being led astray.
