What are your thoughts on deepfakes? (lemmy.ml)

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.

They'll only start caring when they deepfake a high-ranking politician deep throating a massive horse cock and it begins to affect their electability. Even then they will be too old and technology illiterate to make any meaningful action on it.
