Some participants remembered deepfaked remakes of movies like the Matrix coming out in theaters after watching doctored clips.

    I wouldn’t doubt it. Even text headlines are enough to create false memories. We see a headline claiming a thing, if we don’t do any due diligence or have some prior knowledge to see behind the headline and just take it at face value, then it almost becomes a sort of factoid. If it comes up again, we just recall having read about it somewhere, but now we’re seeing two data points, so maybe there’s something to it.
