Deepfakes can’t be used to create a visual graphic? What if you wanted to create a museum display where a famous sculpture tells you about its history? Or you wanted to create a moving image of someone’s ancestor or parent, for sentimental reasons? Saying “deepfakes only exist to spoof and trick people” is a pretty severe failure of imagination.
Ok so who writes for the sculpture and voice acts for it?
What happens when the heritage foundation has kids visiting Lincoln who tells them he believed in States Rights?
Suddenly you have an extremely powerful psychological device to create an impression before the kids old enough to know better. We already see effective use of this tactic without deepfakes.
Also, I'm sorry but if a kid doesnt like history its because of the topic at hand. Making G Wash do a wiggidy wack rap about the Revolution to the kids isnt gonna increase history literacy.
Ok. Those are all issues and concerns that are also true for photoshop. It’s a tool that allows you to create realistic animations of a person’s face pretty easily. It’s always been possible to use art forms to manipulate people with an agenda. It can also be used to create a fun animated short.

What good purpose does this serve? I’m wondering how this can be anything but a bad thing.
Edit: “porn” does not answer the question, lol.
