So if you see it, you have to point out the specific reasons they are fake. The deepfakes of political commentators are slightly easier to deal with because you can point to specific sources/accounts.

For ones like this, you have to point to facts, which takes time. We’re starting to get to an extreme potential for disinfo. Wait till fake political speeches pop up, even if they don’t say anything bad. The goal for many of them is ad fraud.
