Generating convincing audio and video of fake events
I remember an old sf book (sorry, forget the name) where this kind of &quot;fake&quot; video is used for nefarious purposes.  Imagine a video of a president saying something inflammatory that they never said.<p>Talked about that with a friend who does video editing in the early 2000s and she said they could it then.<p>So, while GANs make make it far easier to build up fake soundbites, the capability has been around.  We just need restraint in the media and ways for the common person to verify info.  (Given how easily fake news spreads around FB, the latter is probably more important.)
