I haven't seen the debates. I usually see a lot of fake video in the form of nature "reels" on my feed. Why, or what purpose they serve, I have no clue. It truly is regrettable that it is becoming very difficult to trust anything we see online, and that video and photographic evidence are becoming increasingly worthless. Even audio can't be trusted.

In cases such as the one you posted, I don't think it's too hard to pick it as fake. There is no actual footage of anyone saying anything, just a very obviously dubbed AI voice reading a script probably prepared by AI as well, accompanied by easily obtained images of those named in the script. The really scary ones are where AI is used to generate the image and voice of some celebrity making a speech. These can be almost indistinguishable from the real thing. It could just as easily be a fake of someone robbing a bank or shooting someone.
