#3It definitely can't. There are many cons to this of course that have discussed ad infinitum, but I'd like to point out this opens doors for a new industry focused on scrubbing, "pixelating", or even faking your online social presence. How that would work, who knows, but I'm sure there will now be a demand for that type of technology.
I think online creators should take this new tech very seriously - this isn't a platform or something like The Onion which, if overstepping the law, can be taken down by force. This is based on algorithmic research, which will undoubtedly continue forward. Think twice before making a 45-minute video with just your face talking about an extensive topic, and be mindful of bad actors when doing something like podcasting or audiobooks.
To me, the deepfake technology could be seen as the "black plague" of social media. Once it spreads far enough, many will be fearful about how they conduct their social media presence keeping in mind a bad actor can step in at any time and practically fake your life.
