Yeah, and I don’t think that point is all that far away. And of course, there is the reverse. Faking a video to provide an alibi for someone in a more serious criminal case. As in, “Your honor, my client couldn’t have possibly killed the victim at his home in Dallas on April 6. Here is a dashcam video from that same day taken in Chicago, clearly showing my client.” Most people aren’t thinking about this aspect of AI and deep fakes yet, but I promise you lawyers are.
ETA: Or, to add another level to this, when we get to that point, prosecutors are going to use this to discredit legitimate video alibi evidence. “Well, your honor, how do we know this video isn’t created by AI?” This shit is about to get messy.
