I don't pretend to have the answers, my point is more that if you want to be a part of the discussion of what a solution is, you need to have more than a shallow dismissal. We're still looking at the tip of the iceberg. Deepfake-enabled harassment, fraud and propaganda haven't seen extensive use yet. When and if they do, "you could do this with Photoshop" is going to sound increasingly out of touch.

This is a social problem enabled by technology, so the solution is necessarily a social one with technology to support it.

I don't know if this fits existing legal frameworks or if we'll have to put new laws on the books, but we should treat this as harassment. We should make it clear to younger generations that this isn't okay and why.

On the flip side, I imagine people will get more defensive about their biometric data. We'll probably start to regard photos and voice recordings as being very private. It probably won't be as socially acceptable to post them. It will probably be more normalized to use an avatar and synthesized voice on things like Zoom calls.

But this is all very speculative, so I won't be too surprised if things go very differently than I anticipate.
