As shitty as deepfakes are, I feel like the use of AI for military purposes is worse. Like using it to select bombing targets which is something that Israel has been doing in Gaza.
I get why you'd say this but really, people can select bombing targets with just as much bias as AI can and I'm not really convinced it makes this sort of thing that much worse than it already would be without AI
deepfake video/audio on the other hand produces more significantly convincing media than probably 99% of people would be able to do in that place, and of the 1% that can do something similar it will be able to produce it tens or hundreds of times faster than them. And with this sort of fake information, I think the ease of proliferation and just general quantity of it makes it a fundamentally different thing than the occasional random edit you'd be able to get before
