I don't know where to find the original source, but I don't want to lose track of this video animation of Dorothea Lange's famous photo of Florence Owens Thompson, a migrant worker in California in 1936. For me it highlights what's new, and what's not new with deep fakes. Commenters on LinkedIn said things like "it looks like someone said something when they didn't" and "some photos that are so iconic in the pain and suffering they convey thet should be left alone in peace." All true. But let's not forget that the original photo was staged and retouched. It may be 'real' (as opposed to deepfaked) but it's not clear that the sense and emotion that the photo suggests is any more or less real than the video.
