Also wondering if deepfake could eventually disrupt them

  Without an explicit license from the celebrity that likely would infringe on image or likeness of the celebrity and not be protected by fair use.

    Which will matter to absolutely no one, just as music is remixed and memes made with no recourse.

      For individuals doing it on their own, sure, but if it’s a service (like this but with “deepfake”) it wouldn’t last long before the lawsuits come in.

        The component that generates would be distinct from the model used. You make the model freely available, but charge to generate. Highly unlikely we’re going to outlaw math distributed online. Given enough time, assume you’ll be able to run this on a phone eventually.

          No chance in hell this isn't nuked into oblivion by the most amateur lawyer. Money is changing hands, legal figleafs won't cut it.

  Surely no one actually cares all that much about the video itself? The novelty is the fact the actual celebrity took some time to do something involving you or someone you know. You can already happily Photoshop a hugely convincing signed celebrity photo, I don't see people who want such things affected by this or feeling the real thing is worth any less. Giving someone a deep fake as a gift or novelty would feel somewhat strange/hollow.
