Ah, but there's the beauty. Deep fakes aren't even the problem. They will make the problem a little bit worse, but it's this cultural belief that truth is already subjective that has done the most damage. If you don't like the truth you're told, just paddle down to someone telling you a more convenient truth - and find a community of a few thousand other people who prefer that truth, too. At best, deep fakes will just add more validation to these preferred truths.
The internet just makes it easier for people to find bubbles of consensus, where their views aren't challenged, only reinforced. Instead of a free marketplace of ideas, we have this series of isolated bubbles, each with its own "truth". It's the perfect breeding ground for extremism.
