Reflection on Deep Fakes
After reading Joe's blog post, it is scary how much false information could be passed to people who were uneducated on deep fakes, didn't know they existed or didn't know how to tell if it was real or not. Words, phrases, and overall ideas could be attached to major influencers or political figures names that they never once said, and it would look to the general public like it came right from their own mouths.
The life of someone you admire or even your life could be ruined by an edited photo or video showing that you said or stand for an idea or concept that could be offensive to other people. Even if in real life you never said those things, proving that the photo or video that said them were a deep fake and mending your social image and platform could be difficult and time-consuming. Earning back the trust of the public after your name was blasted to the whole world in one way could be extremely hard. Deep fakes are dangerous to the integrity of our influencers, citizens, and political figures.
