I mean, we do have encryption, which is cheap for users and expensive for bad actors. The question is whether an analogue exists for AI.

In a sense, there's three types of security: exponential, proportional, and logarithmic. Encryption strength is exponential, number of pins in a lock is proportional, and bug fixing may be logarithmic.

What if we use DeepFakes to overwhelm the internet with pictures of people who don't exist? There by giving them LOTS of photos that have to be shifted through?

That would require that all social media is flooded with fake pictures (maybe more than it already is) making the Internet less useful for humans too.
