we've been able to do this kinda shit since the days of film, it wasn't hard, just required some clever stitching and blending.

It's "more accessible" I'm more concerned about shit like AI generated videos though. Those are spooky. Or also just the general accessibility of "natural bot nets" now.

Photography manipulation existed almost since the invention of photography. It was only much harder see the famous photo edition https://www.history.com/news/josef-stalin-great-purge-photo-retouching

Great point. But tools that make it so a 10 year old can manipulate photos even better than your example in several minutes, are in fact fairly new.

Hell they can generate photos that fool 70% of people on Facebook, though now that I say that, maybe that bar isn't too high...
