> Most people are not technical in nature and cannot tell the difference between deepfakes and real photos and videos
They don't need to. The point is that eventually, everyone will just assume it's a fake, exactly because you can't tell, and fakes are easier to produce and thus more common than real leaked nude photos and videos. At that point, a deepfake shouldn't be more socially damaging than a rumor.
After social media became common it was also hypothesized that embarrassing stories dug up from somebody’s last would not be harmful anymore but that future has never materialized.
Human society existed, survived, and improved before photographic or video evidence was a thing. I don't see how these becoming useless would be an unsurmountable blow.
