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.
While this may be true in some cases, I would be more concerned with the use of deepfakes by political parties (not directly those in power, but the actual party offices) and misinformation generators to skew narratives.
