Your comment reads to me as well considered, unlike the majority of the comments here. I am an author of an "Automated Actor Replacement in Media" patent, awarded multi-nationally between 2008 and 2010. I tried to raise financing for a "Personalized Advertising" agency during that time frame, which proposed a media pipeline very similar to what is now called Deep Fakes. Back then, no one would believe my working feature film based VFX technology, even when demonstrated before their eyes. The situation was either non-belief, or excitement that focused on porn wealth - which I refused. I ultimately went bankrupt trying create this company. While struggling, I worked with political parties too. The Dems wanted to produce personalized "spending time with the candidate" videos while the GOP refused to believe my technology was real... what a world we live in...
