you can use deepfakes to lie with audio or video that looks real, which is worse than what we have currently, that is lying with audio or video that's actually real by manipulating context and maliciously cutting & pasting it
what i wonder is how much worse would it be

People are going to increasingly lose trust in video as a form of evidence. If it doesn't conform to your biases, it must be fake. If it does fit what you think, it's real. It's another step towards people living in completely different realities based on how they see the world.

my personal conclusion is that we're well past that point without deepfakes

For many people, definitely. I don't look forward to increasingly not being able to figure out the objective reality myself though. It's also a bit scary to think about how things like this are going to impact policing, trials, etc. when video increasingly can't be trusted.

We are already at that point, just look at what's going on in America. If it doesn't fit your agenda, it's not real, it never happend, and it's not true.
