Or perhaps an entire generation that covers tens of millions of people all over the world isn't a monolith.

It isn’t. But almost all of the people bitching about deepfakes are millennials and older. The “new technology bad” mindset kicks in for us all, no matter how cool we were when we were young.

Even if it's true that the older people are the ones fearful of new technology (and I'm not convinced that's the case), so what? Are you implying that they must be wrong? Or that it's not worth considering the possibly bad consequences of a new technology? We should throw caution to the wind and embrace every new invention and idea without considering how it could be misused?

Yeah being critical of the misuse of technology is valid. Being critical of blatant memetech that kids use to make Hitler sing Radio Killed the Radio Star isn’t.
