> But how is it different from other tools like doing it manually with photoshop? The scale of effect and barrier to entry. Both are orders of magnitude easier and faster. It would take hours of patience and work to mostly create one convincing fake using photoshop, once you had spent the time and money to learn the tool and acquire it. This creates a natural large moat to the creation process. With Groom it takes a minute at most with no effort or energy needed. And then there is the ease of distribution to a wide audience, X/Groom handles that for you by automatically giving you an audience of millions. It’s like with guns. Why prevent selling weapons to violent offenders when they could just build their own guns from high quality steel, a precision drill, and a good CNC machine? Scale and barrier to entry are real blockers for a problem to mostly solve itself. And sometimes a 99% solution is better than no solution.
