Not really, there are maybe a handful of pictures of me scattered online over the course of 15+ years and even if there would be access to absolutely all the pictures that have been taken of me, including physical ones in my own home. It wouldn't likely be enough to create believable up to date deepfake.
So it would be rather hard to create believable deepfakes of me and the payoff would be nonexistent. So I'm in a really really low risk group for it.
Though the technology itself is scary and I've taken the approach of assuming most things online to be fake until proven otherwise.
