    It's only a matter of time until people can start doing this with someone they know.

This is possible now. From what I understand, if you have 500 high quality images of someones face, this program can learn enough to make a passable fake. How many people under the age of 25 have 500+ high resolution images of their face available for public consumption?

Tons is the answer.

That's a fair point. I don't know enough about how this works to say whether that's enough, or if it needs certain kinds of images, or whatever.
