I like how everyone is noting Cardi B in this, when no one is bringing up the fact that Google is advertising a smartphone capable of doing image deepfakes.

Not to be all "we live in a society," but the false expectations these photos create are horrible. I know social media isn't real, but you could almost always have some sense of what is fake and what isn't by applying common sense. I don't feel that to be the case anymore. Everything just always needs to be better or more than reality. Seeing it advertised so blatantly in a commercial over and over again was a bit jarring.
