Also, think about how the cybernetic stuff of the late 20th century--how we were all going to jack in to the whatever and leave our bodies behind--is actually part of how we're understanding now? I don't know how yet, but this seems like it has to be part of the constellation.
There was something about: virtuosity, about how AI tools turn anyone into "an artist" or allow them to make things. Might be tempting to say this about GW, esp the difference between the painstaking mask making and the deepfake thing, but: think of Henry Jenkins and the derogation of remix culture, gatekeeping in general, and how decisions about what constitutes virtuosity are never neutral (and their politics often aren't great).
Maybe Virilio and speed (as an alternative to discourses about either virtuosity or authenticity, those things that are lost at the synthetic turn)
