A: I am very concerned about it.

Most people agree, or at least don’t fight the idea, that there is no social utility in letting people indulge their creative urge to ruin other people’s lives with A.I.-created sexual imagery.

If a constitutional amendment were on the table to make all deepfakes of any intention punishable by up to 10 years of watching an awful A.I.-generated Harry Potter spinoff on a loop, I would support that amendment.

On top of all the A.I. “characters” and user replicas—which appear to be getting rather uncomfortable and sexual these days—there are rollouts going on for A.I.-suggested comments, image and video editing, and even a “task assignment” option in your DMs.

Zuckerberg knows this and, in classic fashion, appears to be fudging the A.I.-usage metrics a bit.
