Yes, there is definitely a lot of fear surrounding the issue of deepfake videos and how they can have catastrophic consequences. But whether you want to jump on the adoption bandwagon or decide to stay on the platform out of fear, a little more education on the topic can’t hurt.

Deepfake is not inherently bad, in fact, it is one of the most brilliant developments in the tech world that is causing serious disruption. Once you see the potential of GAN technology and realize that it can actually be used productively for the good of humanity, deepfake will no longer seem as threatening as it does now.

As Yoda says, 'Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.'

Deepfake has a downside, a rather dark one at that. But the more you become familiar with this concept and the technology, the less control it will have over you. You can even explore the positive potential of deepfakes and turn it into an advantage instead of a disadvantage.
