We are getting to the stage where we need laws to say that machines cannot impersonate humans. Synthetic humans are banned.

Yes, I’m sure that will be allowed to happen. Right after “you can’t use everyone’s doorbell camera as a giant worldwide face-tracking panopticon” and “PC components should be affordable enough for anyone to buy instead of having to rent cloud desktops from an AI datacenter”

We are way way WAY more fucked than you think already.
