I am worried about the criminal malice of deep fakes. I’m not worried about deep fakes being difficult to identify (thought that is a possibility), since context is important; rather I am worried about the response to malicious use of deepfakes by governments.

Will governments even attempt to reduce the destructive potential of deepfakes? I’m doubtful considering political corruption.


Deep fakes could be useful tools for people that have difficulties with neurotypically social communication, or just increase acceptance of nonneurotypical communication.

    There’s also an AI that “detects” deep fakes even when they’re real, and your political opponents will use it for plausible deniability.

    Since those whose opinions you care about can’t tell the difference between the two AIs, it doesn’t really matter that one’s real and the other is fake.
