By the time the next US election comes around it's very likely this technology, combined with Lyrebird etc. will allow anyone to make [politician] convincingly say or do anything they like.

I can't make my mind up if this will make the current fake news / filter bubble situation worse, or if it will make it so bad that people learn to distrust any kind of digital media entirely.

I'm still not sure, given that the use of these tools for political gain seems inevitable at this point how we will actually verify a video is real in the near future.
