I don't think we comfortably know that yet.

For one, software takes a bit to diffuse into the public usage, secondly if you were the victim of blackmail or some other such criminal activity that was perpetrated with the use of such a system you wouldn't raise your hand immediately -- you'd get clear of the problem -- and then afterwards depending on how embarassing the situation is you'd speak out publicly. Many victims will never identify the methods used, and most will never speak out publicly.

In other words, systems like this could be being used to harass people and it'd take a bit of time before 'the public' was ever very aware of it being an ongoing problem.

I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the deepfakes we are expecting yet. Give it a couple months for grainy photos of Clinton in the basement of a pizza parlor with handcuffs in the background.

Or actual photos of Clinton at a certain island that are real but called deep fakes?

I thought of a Scifi series years ago where puppeteers could force politicians say anything they wanted just by the threat of a deep fake.

Don't worry, these AI models can't draw faces and hands properly yet, I'd give it some more time
