Not nearly as well as it can now. Frame generation and speech imitators get better every day. Our AI is far better than it was 5 years ago, and 10 years ago algorithms like chatGPT and stable diffusion were things of science fiction.
I mean it makes it more accessible to the general public, but for anyone was attempting to seriously deepfake a presidential announcement… the resources have been out there.
Could they not have done that 5-10 years ago?

Like 5 years ago, Jordan Peele did an Obama deepfake
It’s not perfect, but it was pretty close. Someone with real motivation probably could have made it 100% believable
