Have we entered the era of peak fake?

instagrammers with enhanced images
fake bodies pumped full of Botox, fillers, steroids or maybe even all three.
scammers pretending to be someone else, even your own bank.
deepfakes
autotune and pitch correction.
so called live performances with pre recorded audio (yes Celine I'm looking at you)
people living their fake lives in social media making out it's better than it really is.
Politicians telling anything but the truth.

Yeah, it’s all a bit disturbing

Edit: Also nepo babies touting themselves as ‘self made’
