I remember this, when it was first published.<p>Good article. One thing about fakes, is that they don't need to be super-high-quality, in many cases. They just need to be enough to reinforce a narrative to a receptive audience.<p>An example is that Kerry/Fonda fake. Just looking at it as a thumbnail on my phone, it was easy to see that it was a composite. Also, I have seen both photos, in their original contexts. They are actually fairly well-known images, in their own rights.<p>That didn't stop a whole lot of folks from thinking it was real. They were already primed.<p>The comment below, about using an AI "iterative tuner" is probably spot-on. It's only a matter of time, before fake photos, videos, and audio, are par for the course.
