> What this means is that, at the very moment when the president of the United States is posting apparently AI-generated deepfake videos of the Democratic House minority leader in a sombrero and mustache, OpenAI has just handed Americans — at least those who have an Sora 2 access code — perfectly realistic fake video with the push of a button.
I've said for a while now that if I were the least bit concerned about the existence of pre-AI historical footage that might incriminate or cast me in a bad light in any way - I'd be rejoicing at the skinner box slot machine that is Sora.
I'd probably be among the first to generate deepfakes of MYSELF just to further dilute the signal. When everything is "fake", then nothing is real.
