As a nudist I’ve often thought this DeepFakery might allow people to take a sigh of relief, take off all their clothes if they so please, and dismiss any photographic or video ‘evidence’ of the event as a fake. And wouldn’t that be liberating? I’m reminded of indistinguishable-from-real-but-fake-data called “bogons” from Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon.

I wonder if this might actually have some benefits for victims of revenge or leaked porn, including celebrities in the long run - "oh, that's photoshopped" seems an easy way to put something to bed.

Precisely — but how dumb is it that we actually experience a societal need to put what evidently is pretty widespread ordinary behaviour “to bed” in a plausibly deniable manner?
