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

It's happening whether people like it or not. There is no legislation that can prevent it, only way forward is mass inoculation towards believing everything you see and hear on the internet.

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.
