      I honestly do not see the value here. Barring maybe a small minority, anyone who would believe a deepfake about Biden would probably also not believe the verification and anyone who wouldn’t would probably believe the administration when they said it was fake.

      The value of the technology in general? Sure. I can see it having practical applications. Just not in this case.
