Now, using free and low-cost generative artificial intelligence services from companies like Google and OpenAI, anyone can create high-quality “deepfakes” with a text prompt.

You can't always get what you want - so how do we do things now?

In these difficult times it's hard to know how to make ends meet, and how to get what we need. In considering this dilemma we need to develop a little stoicism, and have some practical solutions! (We might even save some money.)
