My first working-title ideas where "Deepfake" and "Generative Adversary". I like the way the latter (unlike the former) alludes to an AI term without just being that term, but it only sort-of fits the story (insofar as our potagonist is the adversary of the Trust and Safety establishment and is inclined to creatively oppose them), and the AI term it alludes to only sort-of fits (insofar as GANs are famous for image synthesis). In contrast, this title nails it on both criteria! "Deepfake" really is the general term for the video of Elaine (I think it was originally coined for face-swaps, but it should cover de novo synthesis), and "Fake Deeply" actually describes the moral about deception (pulling off deception is hard because of how exhaustively and recursively you need to cover your tracks). The title is so perfect that it might actually make me more motivated to finish the story sooner (even though I'm "supposed" to be polishing memoir 1–3 ASAP and then making moving preparations)? Maybe that's bad, a distraction? It would be good to at least finish the story sometime this year. ("Plain Speech Valley Squirrels" sat in my drafts folder for six years, but I'm worried if I let this one sit for six years, it'll be overcome by events in technology.) Even though this shouldn't be a Less Wrong exclusive (because of the sex angle), I think it's fine to linkpost there.
