And if it weren't such an obviously fake situation. Imagine it were more subtle, like Cruise out on a date in a high-end bar, coming onto a woman and overstepping boundaries, taken with a concealed cell phone.
Pretty soon the default will be everything is AI generated, even the most honest straightforward media will be AI edited/mediated.
It will be too convenient, consistent, flexible and efficient to record and edit most things with AI, not to
Before we asked “was that recorded in analog or digital?” Then we stopped asking.
Very few people did, and the consequences of that are incomparable. But I'm afraid your idea of commodity/ease of use will make much of the media AI mediated (at least). And like analog/digital, nobody will notice the difference.
I think people would unconsciously shift their mental bar to the point where the bad stuff makes them believe the good stuff is real.

There's no obvious flaw (on the contrary, looks great), but there's just something off between how his shoulders, neck, and head move.
People are easily faked and, imho, it’s safest to assume everything is faked.
Digital media as strong evidence has been a novelty.
If anything the real thing to watch out for will be the echo of national digital ID. This would certainly solve the mild/moderate issues of deepfakes while (if done poorly) risking a serious upgrade to surveillance state/capitalism.
I'm guessing an uncomfortable transition period at least.
This does not seem to suffer from it from what I can see.
AI replication of voices, deepfakes, etc...
