so I had this thought - we should flood the zone with fakes. All out. Systems like Clearview and pimeyes, and intelligence agencies would have a lot more noise to deal with as fake detection is expensive per photo and by definition, always lagging behind the cutting edge fake generator.

I would also be surprised if governments aren't also sewing distrust with their enemies by generating fakes of government officials in past random photos of graduating classes of military academies of foreign governments, just to sew chaos. And why stop there - are you a middle-management cartel member with low prospects for advancement? Find a higher ranking cartel member you want to get rid of, start generating their face in older real photos of FBI graduating classes. Who knows, a position might open.

It's a new world.

This seems to me like the worst possible thing to do. We already have a serious problem being able to determine what's true and what's not. A response like this would make the problem so much worse that it could pose an actual societal threat.

That's my point, we might regain an ounce of privacy in public.

Oops, my bad. I got Poe'd.

I'm not sure where you live but you want intelligence agencies to be less effective? There are numerous complaints to make against intelligence agencies but I don't know if I want them to be worse. I just want them to operate within the law and be morally sound.
