I know this probably sounds ridiculous but I watched a video about the whole Max Headroom incident from the '80s recently and it made me a bit paranoid about what the next generation of hackers will be like. Now that we have Deepfakes, a highly powerful A.I. software that can be used for both good and evil depending on who uses it, I fear that someone could hack into my YouTube channel and make extremely realistic videos of me appearing to say something awful that I'd never say in real life. As powerful as editing software becomes, some jerk could easily hack into my account and post a fake video of me saying something like,

"I hate black people," or

"I abuse my cat when nobody's looking,"

As exciting as the future of technology is, some of it seems concerning if it falls into the wrong hands. Certain things can be used equally to corrupt people and to bring them together.
