Every time this comes up, all the tech nerds here like to excuse it as fine and not a bad thing at all. I am hoping this won't happen this time, but knowing lemmys audience...
The Lemmy circlejerk is real, but excusing deep fake porn is pretty off brand for us. I'm glad the comments on this post are uniformly negative.

https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/927248/-/comment/5921190 just accept it as a new normal, it's fine. Can't possible have any recourse, just accept it women of the world, it's the new normal!
Okay, there are a couple of douche canoes, but generally speaking, I think we're okay on this one.
It is massively upvoted (for lemmy).
I think part of the difficulty discussing this is the discussions usually combine two different things. The production and distribution.
I was informed elsewhere in this thread people can already produce these images/videos on their own machines with no third parties involved or remote processing. I can't think of a single thing that can be done about that so acceptance is all we've got.
Nonconsensual sharing, on the other hand, we can and should do something about. The legal system won't be able to stop it altogether but it can push it to the fringes and stop it from becoming mainstream so any victims wouldn't see fake images/videos of themselves proliferating everywhere.
It's not a matter of excusing it. Distribution of someone's picture without their explicit consent, and anything like that, is inexcusable. But we're talking about the generation of said content, which technically can't be stopped without seriously restraining everything.
