I agree.

I'm not OP but I would answer like this: abuses of this technology are inevitable and can only be mitigated by counter-software (which leads to an arms race).

The release of this source code could kickstart the development of deepfake detection software.

Or maybe in general people need to put less weight on video evidence.

We have warned many vendors about the vulnerability of their commercial biometrics software. The threat is currently downplayed by the whole industry. We hope this release to be a wake up call and that our team will be joined by other experts in raising the alarm.

Deepfakes are already used for spoofing KYC around the world. This is already happening, and not by using `dot`.

Interesting, I will wait for the OP to answer before responding to you.
