Oh, you are playing word games on purpose. I gave you the benefit of doubt, but now see that this was sadly unfounded. Disappointing, but have a nice day anyway.

I am not. I think that technology is not neutral, and I believe that saying "it is neutral, except when it is not" means that it is not neutral. I don't care how often it is not neutral. If it can ever be not neutral, it means that you should always question it, because obviously it would not be ethical to build evil technology.
In this case, I don't see what good comes from the technology that enables deepfakes, but I would love to be enlightened.
I still don't understand what your opinion is, though.

Is it, really? What is the trivial answer? Is technology neutral or not? You seem to acknowledge that there are exceptions, so... does that mean that you think that technology is trivially not neutral? Because let me tell you that it is absolutely not a large consensus (to the point where I am genuinely not sure if that is your opinion or not).
But assuming that you agree with me that technology is not neutral, then my point was: maybe those who worked on that technology should have thought more before doing it. And there I was expecting constructive comments like "the technology itself is really useful for [saving lives / helping biodiversity / put something nice here], and unfortunately some abuse it with deepfakes". Because if we all "kinda trivially" agree on the fact that the technology behind deepfakes is evil, then maybe we should do something about it. Like teach ethics to engineers.
