if this was a discussion on generative AI, I'd agree that the cat is out of the bag and there's no stopping this now.
BUT.
what are people using deepfakes for, in good faith? can someone provide one example that isn't malicious?
the best I could imagine is maybe amateur filmmakers deepfaking their faces onto existing footage to cut costs - but it doesn't seem that this outweighs the drawbacks
- salt4034 4y agoFilm studios can use deepfakes to bring back actors who passed away. Whistle-blowers could use it to have video calls with journalists without being identified. Privacy-minded regular folks could use it to have a YouTube/Twitch channel without revealing their identity. These are just a few good-faith applications, but I think the list goes on.
