Will be interesting if it ever reaches the point where it can be automated and scaled. I predict a modernized repeat of the war of the worlds tipping point followed by ratcheted skepticism for all kinds of temporal simulacra.
Then 3d imaging will enter widespread consumer usage and prove to be very difficult to convincingly reproduce by neural networks, until it is. Trust will be restored in some kind of media until it's broken. Rinse and repeat.
Here's another scary GAN proof of concept [0]. In this case, researchers transferred someone's face in real time to facial expression and mouth movements of public figures. Combined with DeepMind's new tech that seems to be able to produce human voice with believable candor and inflection [1], you could make some very convincing fake footage.
