AFAICT, the brain struggles enough to contextualize still images that you can't really "sneak in" cognitive updates that way — still dangerous, but fakes mostly reinforce what people already believe. Sufficiently strong video + audio creates a visceral "I experienced this."https://twitter.com/KevinSimler/status/1162800890241343488 …

Riots in Ferguson, Missouri were caused by repeated lies on social media and cable news. Just imagine lies spread through fake videos. It can get innocent people murdered

Where’d you get the image? If you play around with it; seems you’ve got a bit of illusion enhancement going on there.pic.twitter.com/BMoWf9x2Ga

Taking it one step further, I suspect people would update negatively even when they knew the video was deepfaked. Our brains are wired for moving images in a way that engages them much more than still.

@KevinSimler exactly. Also holds for text and mere hearsay btw — remember seeing some papers showing that slander was effective at durably impacting someone’s reputation. Deepfakes may just be a new, very potent form of itThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I’ll buy it! But it still doesn’t seem like deepfakes will precipitate a phase change. Like, aren’t political cartoons doing a “smuggling emotions past the gatekeeper” move? Deepfakes are the same kind of thing; they just take technical rather than artistic skill to pull off.pic.twitter.com/Ksgplm5b4R

I think the distinction there is the visceral believability.
