Deepfakes may soon start filling our brains with false memories

Do you remember the remake of The Matrix where Will Smith starred as Neo? Or the remake of The Shining with Brad Pritt as Jack and Angelina Jolie as Shelley? Or when Charlize Theron starred in Captain Marvel, or Chris Pratt in Indiana Jones?

If you don’t, you’re not going mad: these movies never existed. But if you’re scratching your head thinking “wait, but I swear I remember watching Brad Pitt smash down a hotel door with an axe!”, you’re not going mad either.
