RE: DEEPFAKE - we can no longer trust our eyes
Deepfakes are one of our newest arms races. A university professor has developed software to identify video deepfakes by using a target's true videos to identify expressions associated with different kinds of speech. Deepfakes reveal themselves by mismatches. However, deepfakers are aware of this and adapting. This is the beginning of a race of measures and countermeasures.
As for pictures, seeing is not believing. As people become aware of fakery, they won't accept at face value. This is hardly new, witness the famous picture from which Stalin had Trotsky excised. The big problem now is political polarization that has removed constraints on confirmation bias. Now, truth is often what people want it to be, like Trump.

Yes, I am afraid that they will always be a step ahead of technologies trying to prevent them.
That's frightening, but I must agree on this point.
