> Video or photo evidence of a crime become useless the better AI gets

This is probably a good thing because photoshop and CGI have existed for a very long time and people shouldn't have the ability to frame an innocent for a crime or even get away with one just because they pirate some software and put in a few hours watching tutorials on youtube.

The sooner jurors understand that unverified video/photo evidence is worthless the better.


You needed special abilities to fake those things convincingly before. So it was rare. Now everybody can do it. It will become normal.

Additionally the trust in experts also went downhill, so verified will mean nothing.
