#2As a viewer of the documentary, I will love that effect instead of a bland voice-over.
But a note should be added on the screen that the voice is AI-generated. Like when they say a war video is a reenactment.

#3I actually think getting deep fake stuff to the public is the way to go. Basically anyone can create a deep fake. It is far better to get the public used to the idea of deep fakes so they can develop some immunity to it.

I'm not sure that when you go down that rabbit hole folks will believe much at all...
I don't want to go down the rabbit hole here but everyone hears about 'fake news', they know what it is, they just label things they don't like 'fake news'. I'm not sure that's helping.
Either way we are going to find out.

Agreed, this whole issue could be solved with a message before the film runs about how the voiceover is created, and then a "recreation" label during that scene.

#6I don’t see this as any different than getting an actor to play the part. This happens all of the time in docos for a more immersive experience. JFK voice comes to mind quite a bit as an example. Is it unethical to get an actor to play his voice?

#7A deepfake audio + video with mask of the mayor of ethekwini was used to encourage people to continue looting during recent riots in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
It’s scary.

Do you have a source? That's wild if true.

The major difference I see is that the viewer is aware that they are watching an actor. Or at least, they should be aware. It has always been standard practice to note when something being shown is a reenactment of an event, and not the actual one.
Even if they used a voice actor to mimic Bourdain, they should have informed the audience that an actor was reading the script.

I expect it will go as well as our collective immunity to advertising and other propaganda.
