People generally aren't overly concerned with determining the accuracy/truthfulness/realness of whatever they are looking at. Social media is completely full of heavily filtered, edited, and photoshopped images. There are a whole lot of faces, asses, waists, and entire bodies out there that look absolutely nothing like the images representing them.

Even the text and just the general presentation of reality is suspect. Looking at someones Facebook or Instagram doesnt show their real life, it shows a highlight reel that is heavily edited.

Deepfakes are a drop in the bucket compared to all this. It's very easy to trick someone that is lied to basically 100% of the time already.

Everyone that owns stock (which is every wealthy person) is always "richer than they've ever been before." That's just how stock works.

If you have 100 billion dollars to give away, giving it away in a lump sum and just absolving yourself of responsibility for how it gets spent is a terrible idea. The whole point of his philanthropic organization is to ensure that the money gets spent as wisely as possible.

Your view of him is wildly inaccurate. How would use a 100 billion dollars to better the world? It's not a simple question to answer.

And you mentioned "unelected." Are you suggesting he should give it to the government and let them handle it? They already have Trillions of dollars, and what are they doing with it? Health care? Education? Or war?

Isn't computer vision pretty complicated too? To my knowledge most of what we have there is face detection and moving object detection (person bike car truck) for self driving cars. I feel like the understanding-of-what-every-object-is required for a humanoid robot to help for home chores is still also kinda far away.
