Deepfake: A Brief History of Unreliable Images
Channel: vlogbrothers
Date: 2019-02-05

In which John and Hank get Deepfake mustaches, which makes John think about the history of forged, shopped, cropped, and airbrushed images. Can humans learn not to trust their senses? Or are we doomed to be duped by images even when we know they're unreliable? 

The incredible deepfake mustache content in this video was made by 
Ryan Georgi, who wrote a post to explain the work. https://ryan.georgi.cc/2019/02/04/deepfakes-and-public-data/

Also big thanks as always to Rosianna: http://youtube.com/rosianna

CORRECTION: Lenin did not order the photo of Lenin and Trotsky altered. Stalin ordered it. My mistake! Even this video about misinformation contains misinformation.
