Replying to correct shitty example. Imagine some girl getting curb-stomped by all her male relatives over pictures of her getting bukkaked while on holiday with her friends. Make it India or Brazil or Iran or some such place.

Pretty sure I could come up with increasingly plausible and crude scenarios.

The implications of being able not just to create realistic human faces, but to put existing ones into all manner of damaging scenarios, enormously outweigh the uwu factor you're trying to sell here. I will continue to loathe the rise of AI.

Here's the thing, though. Remember that last season of Prison Break, where they revealed the video used to incarcerate the buff Scoffield brother was fake? How they went over every frame with MS Paint and recorded a superficially convincing gun shot to make it look like he'd fired that gun?

We're not just at a point where we can make shit like that nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, but at a point where anyone with a mid- to high-end GPU can render these deep fake images and videos.

I can't bring myself to be overjoyed about living in a world where so many dastardly things could happen. Imagine getting blackout drunk and losing your job the next day over a video of you beating up a homeless guy with the company logo on your shirt. You're pretty sure you took off that shirt before going out that night...or did you? Everything's a haze. You've never been violent when drunk, you surely wouldn't do anything like that...right? But there it is, the damning evidence, and it looks so real that you don't even think it could be a deep fake. You know your life is over.

I, for one, am not comfortable with AI being so good at recreating people's faces, no matter how fruity marshmallow you make it out to be with your pseudo-spiritual talk about our perceived reality and the flow of time.
