in the 2000s, we would've said the same thing about the ease of use and scale of photoshop for image doctoring too

the scale and pervasiveness in which these things can spread now is many orders of magnitude more now. It isn’t an accurate comparison. also, I was there in the 2000’s, there wasn’t remotely the same amount of concern then, because these things are not the same
After each technological leap, it was an order of magnitude each time, and still the world hasn’t ended yet despite the handwringers at every stage of technological development
