What's New to the Human Condition?

Lies are absolutely nothing new to the human condition. But what makes this phenomenon different is tere to two things coming together. The first is that we have this human frailty where audio and vidio have this power over us, especially, you know, what we see. So that we see something, we're going to believe it. And in some sense, we're already surrounded by fake images everywhere, but this is clearly taking it to a whole nother disturbing level. It takes just a trick of the human eye to upend someone's deeply held beliefs. Deep fakes appear authentic and realistic, but they're not. They're total falsehoods.
