> an audiovisual record created...in a manner that the record would falsely appear to a reasonable observer to be an authentic record

Presumably this 'created' case is meant to prevent something like Nvidia's face-gen tool being used to create a lookalike video from scratch with the defense "it's not an alteration".

But there's no wording restricting this to digital generation (or alteration). As far as I can tell, this covers anything from a photo with a lookalike to a real but misleadingly-cut sound recording. Am I missing something, or would this have made producing that 2004 faked photo of Jane Fonda and John Kerry a felony offense?
