We already don't know what is real. This will only make that clearer.

I think some governments already had tech like this but not all.

It will be interesting to follow this. Probably lots of fake videos on YouTube as a consequence where events are not real but used to stir up aggression.

Maybe, but I doubt it, only because traditional propaganda has been %100 effective without generative AI.

Photoshop has existed for a long time. Three Letter Agencies have been faking stuff forever. Not new.

Will this make it easier/faster? For sure. The one upside I can see is it brings the conversation to everyone, even those folks who don't want to acknowledge government is as bad an actor as anyone else.
