alt Hacker News> One India focused study that I saw, introduced me to the term Cheap Fakes
Wasn't that term entirely invented by the Democratic party to dismiss videos of Biden's "senior moments"?
I'm curious if the term predates that or maybe you're not in the US?

It seems to have been originated by two authors of a book on the 2024 election, where manipulative fake and misleading videos by the GOP were a widespread issue.
Not sure why you're trying to pretend that the idea of fake videos is some anti-GOP conspiracy.

I heard it this year, but its a term that once you hear it, you "get it". Definitely not an India only thing.
