I get your point and I did think that as I am writing this. But My trust hasn’t broken down to the point where I disconnect from the internet entirely. I can watch the news and be fairly confident those people said what they said and this is not a computer generated Joe Biden saying America is at war with NKorea.

To remain a functional society, we'll have to trust centralized news outlets more than social media sources, or have computer programs which validate images/videos based on either metadata or statistical noise. Maybe even a suite of these programs and several centralized news outlets verifying. Or maybe some form of content delivery that encrypts legitimate videos at the time of recording so that when we recieve a video encrypted in this way, we know it's unaltered? I'm tired so i haven't thought this through.

Anyway, when video synthesis is perfected, we will need to treat video and images exactly like we do text now. Goodbye to the days of automatically trusting all video as authentic unfortunately. :(
