Deepfakes and Democracy

Dear Dingo:
I fear the end of democracy is near. With "deepfake" videos, any political candidate (or citizen) can be falsely morphed into realistic video format. Nobody will be able to decipher reality in any shape or form. If we think ads are bad now--won't these fake AI videos be the complete end of our informed democracy? And history as we know it?

Answer:
YES.
But in the meantime--get on the bandwagon & use Deepfake to create alternate reality!

 Simply place any candidate that starts with a B (say Beto, Booker, Biden, Bernie...) and place their bodies over any Trump rally video. (some weight inflation will be necessary) Augment the voice and voila! Post on Youtube and old white men will be so completely confused, they won't be able to tell Trump's ass from Buttigieg's elbow....
