I'd guess there will be a short window where people are fooled by this stuff, but eventually people will just stop trusting any video/audio they see/hear. At least I hope.
You have too much faith in people. Especially when all the right wing news already has to do is play an audio clip and then blame "liberals" and millions of people will instantly believe it has fact. Just wait till they can make Democrats say whatever they want as "hypothetical scenarios" to show how bad liberals really are and what liberals really believe

Some of the Nic Cage stuff was scary.
This will be used to claim that real video is fake. "I didn't say that, that video is a deepfake."

Why even bother with actual audio of Democrats and liberals and protesters when you could preface it as "they say one thing but liberals are liars. This is what they really mean: [insert manufactured audioclip]"

The right already does that in practice now. Mark Levin's spin on the family separation was that Democrats say they care but they really don't, they only really care about power and were using the children as political pawns. Imagine if they could make audio to have Democrats say what they always insist Democrats really mean.

One way to combat this is to develop organizations whose main function is to validate videos. The people responsible for creating this tech need to reveal all the techniques used so that experts can identify what is fake and what is real.

World governments should also pass agreements to never create deepfakes and to harshly penalize people who do. This technology has the potential to completely undermine our trust in just about everyone and everything.
