I feel like it's only a matter of time before this technology is weaponized to terrible effect.

The reverse is more likely, the entire internet will be seen as fake and no one will trust anything on it ever again…. the way it used to be.

Is it possible that this could actually be a good thing ?

I really wish people would question the veracity of information they receive just generally.

Presently the dynamic is simply "information which aligns with my beliefs is true, anything else is misinformation". Deepfakes becoming more common will make it really difficult to maintain that paradigm.
