I'm not sure how deepfakes are an example of "compassion and empathy rotted out from society in the pursuit of greed". They're just your standard issue human condition, if it's possible to grief a person then there's always someone willing to do just that. Doesn't mean we have to suffer that.

In a compassionate society with community mindedness people are less likely to use tools like this for mindless hurt. Our current culture isnt aligned with compassion due to individualism and greed.

You sound like you've given up on nurturing humanity and instead want to enforce good behaviour as if the base human condition is to hurt others by default.

These are often young boys behaving in ways that are misogynistic and heartless. Usually following the examples of heartless parents and peers. We can do better. They're kids learning the wrongs lessons about the world.
