We won’t know what is real anymore.

Of all the things, this really scares me. Many people scroll through their socials so quickly they will definitely not be able to tell apart generated clips from real ones. And the generated ones will only get better. One generation later, nobody will believe anything they see on a screen. And no, I don't think regulation can do much here as it will only end up in heavily censoring everything, leading to more distrust in media.

I think it could end up being a good thing if it causes social media to collapse into smaller, better known social groups.
