+ | A {{w|deepfake}} is an altered video, designed to deceive by replacing a person in a video. White Hat believes that this technology will make it difficult to trust videos. However, Cueball responds by saying that "fakes" have always existed, both in photos, and even moreso by people simply lying. White Hat comes around to Cueball's position and says that even the written word is prone to deception and lying. | ||
− | + | The {{w|complaint tablet to Ea-nasir}} is one of the oldest written documents, in which a customer complains to a merchant, Ea-nasir, about his copper ingots. Cueball's last statement says that perhaps this complaint could've been a lie to begin with, and there was nothing wrong with Ea-nasir's wares. | |
