Gotta hard disagree with you there, friend… Although I see the merit in that, I think we should be taking examples like this and sharing them around with crystal clear context that:
This is a troubling blend of real and fake, and it’s easy to not notice which parts are which
This is a new category of propaganda that we aren’t ready for
Even though this one is pretty easy to clock as fake satire, it’s not hard to imagine nudging a few degrees away from tongue-in-cheek and toward deliberately deceitful, and holy shit is that going to be scary
Like I know lots of people who don’t know that this sort of thing is even remotely possible, and would have a hard time understanding how to contextualize it, even if they sense something fishy about it. They need to see and hear these deepfake-adjacent materials first hand with context to innoculate against the truly deceptive stuff that they’ll be exposed to.
