## Quote — verbatim

> I predict in two years... I think this election is going to be a deepfake election, and in two years we're going to have this problem so massive. There will be moments of chaos during this election due to fakes — that's my prediction... ultimately I think humanity will figure it out, but it's going to be painful before we figure it out.
