You're being a bit melodramatic, but again the distinction is pretty clear. As long as there is a clear distinction between what is me, and made my me, and what was done by a machine/company/etc. then I don't really see the issue
If people make videos of me having sex, or fighting aliens or selling laundry detergent.. again.. why should I care?
As long as nobody is saying "Hey you're actually talking to Scarlett live right now!" it's not hurting her.

What would be this clear distinction if the internet was spammed full of you doing things you would never do? Why should anyone care to find out the real you amongst the fake ones?
This issue was raised quite poignantly in the Eminem hit song -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkqMbsmLrtA
Good call, had the same song in mind when writing the comment.
But anyways different times + Eminem rapped about copycat rappers and not about someone deepfaking your whole being on the internet.
First of all, this is already beyond the scope of the current issue. We know Scarlett is not on the other end of the line with OpenAI
And in a world where there are deepfakes of every famous person.. People will finally stop trusting everything they see online. With the way things are going at the moment we're going to get to that point with or without legislation. Realistically you just won't be able to ban deep fakes worldwide. People will just assume if they come across a video online that it's fake - as they should be doing already in all honesty
If you made a concerted effort to fool people into thinking it's the real person then it'd be illegal. Especially if you're out to hurt them somehow. In the same vein as libel

And in a world where there are deepfakes of every person, famous or not... People won't be able to trust anything they see anywhere. Welcome to Hell.
