> EVERYTHING you are used to online — including these comments - can already be convincingly deepfaked by adversarial networks trained on throwing bullshit at a wall and seeing what sticks.
Bullshit. State of the art chatbots can barely convince one mystic minded guy who has no idea how they work and wants to believe that they are real. If you actually try to converse anything even slightly meaningful with one, it quickly becomes obvious that they have no idea what they are talking about.
Sure, they can produce some basic reddit memes and such, or plausibly sounding word salads that resemble what some write, but they are a long way away from actually being convincing chat partners. They do slightly better at imitating copypasta news reporting.
