Isn't this a bit over dramatic, seeing as we had deepfake tech for a while now?

I don’t think so, as deep fake stuff was about switching faces and voices. You needed actual footage to train this on.

So if you wanted to stage something, it would take considerable effort, money, time, and manpower.

Now anyone will be able to just type in a prompt and have a video generated.

We saw the Joe Biden deepfake that made calls to tell people not to vote for him. Now just wait until we are having videos of him saying it sent out in mass.
