I'd be surprised if OpenAI research concluded anything else than that OpenAI products will change the very fabric of society, as such a notion would negatively impact their investor relations. I'm kinda amazed how the tech crowd, usually marked by critical thinking and skepticism toward incredible claims, seems to guzzle OpenAI's marketing kool-aid completely unquestioned.

To communicate with each other humans are going to need verification codes that AIs don't know about. Otherwise you won't know if it is a deep fake on the other side. I imagine this is what Altman's retinal coin is about. At first it will be high level government and military folks. There's a reddit post with an AI with Steve Jobs voice giving Stallman's Ted talk which is out of this world. So in the near future we will be able to take a bunch of videos and email and docs of your dead parent and the AI will reconstruct and you can plausibly talk with them. So the tech is already here.

  Right, this is just saying digital communication will be noisier and more alienating (and it already is noisy and alienating to the point where it's value is in rapid decline).
