Deepfakes can be both used for good and bad but nowadays it is only used for bad situations by using individuals face without his/her consent which makes deepfakes a bad experience.

The main problem which causes because of deepfakes are-

Deepfakes, which are realistic but artificially generated images, videos, or audio clips, can cause a range of problems

So in conclusion if deepfakes develop even more to a extend where we cannot detect which is real and fake where it can be so bad and a serious problem to a level in the future that we may not be able judge depending on the evidence where it might be fabricated. But this is just my theory Deepfake can may be good for society but the misuse of deepfake can definitely cause havoc in the society we live in which we may not be able to imagine.
