As much as I appreciate the progress, the raise of DeepFakes is super scary.

Scares the bejeezus out of me! I can only imagine the implications if these tools were used for evil instead of good. Um, btw, what good are these kinds of tools? Hmm.

All with you there. The downsides surely seem to outnumber the upsides.
