> Using other people's visage without their permission is gross. It's immoral and unethical.

This seems a bit extreme to me. In my view, the line is crossed when it’s used for fraud, i.e. misrepresenting the truth (for whatever purpose).

Face-swapping Daniel Craig’s face onto my body, and showing it to my friends, is neither immoral nor unethical — it’s actually kind of funny.



I think publicizing a non celebrity is problematic even if there isn't any misrepresentation.

It can be fine in a news context, but there's not a lot of faked videos that would be appropriate in that context.

I even thought the faked Fred Astaire ad was in poor taste.
