Someone is going to troll civilization with an AI service that produces incriminating deep fake photos's, security videos, event stubs, receipts, chats, and suspicious crypto currency transfers, all telling compelling tales of motive, opportunity and means.

Preemptively plant evidence to frame anyone you want for any crimes you plan to commit. I hear police departments love cases where they can efficiently dispense looking for alternative suspects. But leave a dozen backup suspect shaggy dog crumb trails just in case. Judicial system take that!

I have no idea where deep fakes are taking us, but if we don't get a cryptographic proof of provenance, location (proof of network latency) and time stamp system working soon for all "evidence", journalistic photos, questionable selfies, nights alone at home nowhere near any crime scene, things are going to get very crazy.
