I have been aware of this technology for a while as I worked in animation film.
I believe we can not trust our eyes in person or in media. the visual world around us could be manipulated, scenes can be staged in order to sway opinions one way or the other. This goes beyond just the video someone talking. With enough people together and paid actors (*there is a company that does this) you can make a political rally look sold out, you can pay protesters to protest good causes... So what we see cannot really believe is true.
It's a lot about taking a reactionary approach or a logical approach. it's about looking beyond the veil and asking what's really happening here. This unfortunately takes a lot of time. and generally after the truth has been revealed, it's been a while past the incident, minds have been made up, and people disregard the truth. The echo of media echoes the lies and the damage has been done, to counteract this takes a long time.
Look at trump. He lies every day, and well people call them out a few days later on these lies, his voter base sees him denying things that he has done and they believe. It's all very sad. To counteract this would require reprogramming of the human psyche and how we approach internal acquisition of truth.
That's just my thoughts!
