Film studios can use deepfakes to bring back actors who passed away. Whistle-blowers could use it to have video calls with journalists without being identified. Privacy-minded regular folks could use it to have a YouTube/Twitch channel without revealing their identity.

These are just a few good-faith applications, but I think the list goes on.

That just reminds me of the short story about a society where nobody died. It wasn't meant to be a happy story.
