No longer being able to tell whether any image or video is real due to the extreme ease of creating realistic fakes, is itself a harm.

You've seen movies before. You know that they can make fake videos look realistic. We have an entire industry built around it, so why is it only a harm now?

It might actually be helpful to push through and out to the other side.

Think about how many completely fake videos are going to be flying around for the next election. Nobody is going to believe anything the see online.

What is the the next stage, where the only things you believe are things you see with your own eyes.
