people were worried about deepfakes with AI but instead the propaganda is doing pretty well, and arguably better, when it's not a deepfake but instead silly, catchy, youthful, and is playing up existing beliefs.

deepfakes have been pre-subverted by having leaders that can't put coherent sentences together, or be trusted when they say literally anything.

A trump deepfake will be just as reliable about trump policy as actually listening to him speak. maybe even more reliable than from the horse's mouth

You're right and it's not even hyperbole. Big sigh.
