Deepfakes are already a reality, the technology is already there and good enough for harm, the genie is not going back to the bottle.

In fact, the more realistic the deepfakes become, the less harmful actual revenge porn and stolen sex videos can be, because of plausible deniability.



We live in a world where you can just say dumb bullshit about Haitians and millions of people will insist it's real.

This "good deepfakes will prevent harm because of plausible deniability" is absurd copium, and utterly divorced from reality.

Speak to victims some time. You are not helping them.
