Is there a single non nefarious use case for deepfake technology? I honestly can't think of anything.

You've got the burden of proof backwards, pal.
The way I see it is that when I've run out of content on Lemmy, that's my indication to put down my phone and do something else. My buddy framed it in that way during a discussion we had the other day and I think he hit the nail on the head.
Also:
Search engine quality determined exclusively by the folks that consistently mistake their Facebook status update field for a search engine.
"This artform that I don't have a hope in hell of ever understanding is invalid... because I say so."
Better stop watching movies and tv and only ever go to your local playhouse for entertainment.
It's fine to have AI stuff as a hobby but I'm sorry; AI generated art has no business in an art gallery with human art.
Rent/host your own spaces, open your own galleries, hold your own events. No one is saying that people can't engage with AI art. What they're saying is that the effort to legitimize AI art as an equal to human art is incredibly damaging and cancerous.
It's like asking someone to make you a sandwich and then stipulating what you want on the sandwich then, once the sandwich is on a plate in front of you, you proudly exclaim "Wow, I'm quite the chef, aren't I?"
The sandwich maker in this case is just not a person, it's a computer.
I kinda get you, but ultimately the design of the printed materials had to be created by someone. Creation is the key in all of this.
In this comparison, ideally that creator is the person printing the materials. There's a disconnect if someone just downloaded the CAD files and printed it up then claimed 100% ownership of the creation credit.
I don't see anything wrong with someone designing all the pieces in CAD, which is an artform in itself IMO, printing them and proudly wearing them. Its just a different tool. You use hand tools, they used digital tools.
But at the end of the day, the only action they're taking to capture the art is they press a button.
Wut? Are you serious? You're just going to boil down an entire artform to that? That's an unbelievably reductive opinion.
Anyone can take a photo, sure but making art via photography is incredibly complex. I'm not a photographer at all and even I can understand that. It's the photographer's tastes and years of learning and practice that ultimately creates an impactful photo. You must think playing drums is just hitting tubes with plastic lids with sticks then, right?
I struggle to believe that you have put any thought into this opinion of yours.
Don't underestimate him. He's shown he's a spoiled brat, but he's not shown that he's incapable of elaborate and spiteful plots to get his way.
A smart decision in his eyes might be a dumb one in ours but that doesn't mean he's actually stupid.
Writing him off as an idiot is a one way ticket to being blindsided while you're distracted by something else.
A lot of sites? Or more like just a few? Personally, the ratio of working vs broken sites is like 100 to 1 and when a site is broken, its usually one of those shit pile SEO listicle sites or some absolute trash heap of ads. Every time I've disabled the protections I've regretted it.
A lot of the web is useless trash nowadays and Librewolf has done a good job of filtering that for me.
You're not wrong. The inertia people have towards this stuff is unbelievable sometimes. You will be fine without marketplace. You'll survive if you don't see fresh content on Reddit every second of your life. People act like FAANG is fucking Kuato growing out of their abdomen, inseparable but through pain of death.
Life existed long before this exploitative shit.
