Jordan Peele does a PSA as Barrak Obama to demonstrate that "videos can be faked" Which is totally true. The deepfakes that have been in the news are something to be concerned about but the limitations of the technology are never discussed. The only important thing it to put it in the public consciousness that "videos can be faked". I work in video and digital effects. My eyes are tuned to see this stuff. The supposed HRC video should not look like these blurry chin deepfakes nor would she be looking well lit right at the camera. But that won't be the discussion. The discussion will be "videos can be faked". Educate yourself.

Video is made with code. For an expert, finding an artifact in the code that applies to alterations shouldn’t be a big deal. Any minute now, an app will likely become available that let’s us separate the add ons from the original video. It probably exists already. Fakes will still be easy to spot. They are just clinging to the same old hope: that we are dumb and lazy.
They can fool some point f the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
