    Not as easy and accessible as now.

    Before, I don’t even know how to erase a pimple on my selfies. Now I can easily generate picture of a photorealistic cat girl riding a bike naked on Time square that could fool any elders in my neighborhood.

      Accessibility makes it the opposite of convincing.

      And a skillfully modified photo is going to convince just about anyone.

          They can do the same with these. Only its a lot less subtle.
