I do not feel threatened by any of this.

It just is not that novel compared to what is already going on.

When internet became a thing, for example, that was a big deal. I am sure the printing press really changed things for humanity too. Antibiotics were game changers too.

At this point, realistic deep fakes have existed for years and there doesn't seem to be any earth changing impact. We might be inclined to think they will fool people into believing conspiracies and other "real fake blending", but a lot of people already believe that bullshit *without* deep fakes at play.

The same thing goes for the advanced NLP stuff like ChatGPT and others. People fear the worst - they think it's going to lead to uncontrollable disinformation online and elsewhere but, even as you read that here, I am sure you are already thinking about the uncontrollable disinformation that is/was already prevalent *without* tools like ChatGPT around.

It's just not that big of a change.
