Exactly. People with a passing familiarity of it think it's a real, valuable tool, but people in AI know that's more of a notion, and not a useful tool.

But we do want them to fake things, like birthday cards in the style of Cormac McCarthy or paintings in the style of Van Gogh.

We may be less enthusiastic about them being able to attempt to deceive us, but that's certainly going to happen.
