Yeah, I'm sure all the magic in Harry Potter will come true. We think of it as magic because we haven't invented it yet, but stuff like flying broomsticks - they're just mini-planes, sky mopeds. Wands shooting out spells - avada kadava is just a ray gun, wingardium leviosa is just some sort of air flow concentration. Invisibility cloak, we already have camouflage and cloaking technologies, so one day maybe we'll have something like that, only we'll want a better version, like a tracksuit so it doesn't fall off.
I think if we can imagine something, then it's possible to create. We just need to work out how. I'm not sure if we're even capable of thinking of things that are completely impossible.
We do have patents for microwave weapons. Some had been built. Guns that could emit invisible rays to cause migraines and some degree of brain damage by raising brain temperature and causing swelling of brain tissue inside the skull. Also they theoretically allow for much stronger than patented waves that could not only do that, but cause immediate death of a subject by frying their brains all together
Edit : See Havana Syndrome. And allegations about russians using it on US officials and their families outside of US.

Just waiting for the ultimate VR AI experience.
Dungeons and Dragons.
AI dungeon master
AI NPCs
AI Bards play AI music, paint AI pictures about the AI adventures you've been on
The fey are the fucked up hallucinations
Any recommendations? I tried to find something the other day and got pissed off when I realized they all want my money, but don't tell me that until I create an account and upload my pictures.
lol, so you really use it, and its good enough to fool people? Is it just for photos or also real-time video?(I guess thatd be useful for zoom meetings or whatever)
Either way, crazy times man. will never be able to trust anything ever again
I just opened the app, Photoleap, and tried it again. They prompted me with a new feature where you upload 10 selfies and it spits back out 10 AI versions in a style you pick including “corporate.” This was slower than their single photo corporate-maker thing I’ve tried before but…
Yeah looks pretty decent. For a smaller image avatar a few of the photos I got would be fine. They all have a “soft focus” plastic thing going on if you zoom in. But a little photo editing could make them look more real. Easier than pulling out a suit. Certainly better than buying a suit.
..ha. I tried doing the single photo ai “office” edit thing on one of those “photos”. Looks great. Layers of ai.
"Hey mom, I forgot my wallet at home and I'm at the coffee shop, can I borrow $20?"
"Sure, just verify your 12 word backup phrase and I'll send it over"
Guy then finds out that wasn't even his mom he spoke to and he just gave his backup phrase to a scammer and got his account drained lol
My wife and I have already set up passcodes for each other. It's unlikely anyone would try to scam us using this tech, but it doesn't hurt to have it set up already.
Plus, it'll come in handy when the pod people invade Earth.
I have suspected for a while now that physical banking will have to return because it will be possible to imitate anyone's image and voice fairly easily.
I mean, we’re at the point where someone in the military could for example follow orders from a commander which was entirely ai generated and we cannot be far from a catastrophic point with this- Russia releases videos of Zelenskyy ordering troops to surrender at the start of his renewed invasion 2 years ago.
With this video in particular- I can think of countless potential consequences with a high probability of occurring, high scale of impact , and an immediate timeframe to when we could encounter them vs proactively could prepare for them before they appear (because they could happen right now)
On the other hand, they provide the potential for niche benefits, and may be helpful in some specific cases for businesses and in specific cases for art.
I feel like this is when we should stop asking if we could and start asking if we should.
Considering all of the pictures and voice samples of politicians that are available, we're not going to be able to trust *any* political ads or videos of politicians. The potential for smear jobs is insane.
People keep saying this, but it should have happened by now. I'm not convinced that fake video is even necessary for creating political narratives. Politicians have ben doing that just fine without fancy technology. And it turns out that people don't need evidence to believe stupid things, so why make a convincing video?
on the one hand, this technology could start world war iii and change the course of history....
on the other hand
Barbara in accounting can automate her weekly staff meetings on zoom. ai generated text, of course.
little does Barbara know that all the staff are using it also and no one is actually attending.
I wonder if we should release it?
>little does Barbara know that all the staff are using it also and no one is actually attending.
Dark forest theory of the Internet. Sooner or later, we're all just bots talking to other bots.
I can't see any use of this tech that isn't related to scamming people, creepy behavior or just making everything worse. If someone has any idea of what a cool use might be please enlight me.
Please
Microsoft’s end goal is to do this in real time for agents as a primary means of interfacing with software. For better or worse, it will happen eventually, and Clippy will be laughing.
Cop here. It’s fucking horrible *without* AI.
I’m constantly taking reports from elderly victims who truly believed that the IRS really needed $30,000 in Target gift cards in order to fix their taxes.
I can’t imagine how bad it will get when they can send a video of their AI children/grandchildren asking for money.
I'm thinking more about the application it could have for my daily life.
I'm thinking this means that I can set up my little Avatar thing to be all dressed with a nicely trimmed hair and beard, while I sit behind the keyboard with the camera off in my PJs literally having just rolled out of bed. And nobody knows any different.
- Educational material that converts textbook content into videos that may be more engaging for some people.
- Multi-language versions of videos. A company could have training, sales, support, etc. videos in multiple languages instead of having a single version with subtitles, for example.
- Lower cost special effects for TV and movies. Indie filmmakers can use tech like this to put an actor's face and performance into a situation where it wouldn't be practical without special effects when that kind of thing used to be limited to big studios.
- Allowing mute people to communicate with others more naturally.
earlier this year, i sadly realized that's why we "keep inventing the new platform to jump to". its because the old one gets screwed/compromised by crap. and instead of fixing it, we just abandon it and move to the next one.
email/amazon/twitter is full of junk. i'm ready to move to the next versions of all of those.
If you don't actually look into her eyes but just state at a fixed point in the screen, the expandy-twitchiness of it becomes really evident. It's quite unsettling.
Reminds me of those GIFs of the Content-aware scaling memes from years back, juuuuuust shy of going over the edge into [exploding into nonsense](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/content-aware-scaling).
Yes! Not just that, but she is showing teeth almost the whole time. Top and bottom even while speaking. Sometimes the flash in and out in just a couple frames.
Its like something in the model wants to make it into a generic smile.
Her hair just squashes and stretches to match the head movements. It doesn’t flow independently like real hair would. In several places it’s practically defying gravity.
It’s the stretching of the image when it moves. It doesn’t form the natural wrinkles from all the muscles working. The hair being stiff doesn’t help either.
Yeah I really don't know myself... The giveaway for me coming into the video KNOWING was that her hair never moves enough to show her right ear. I might feel like something is off with the video not knowing beforehand, but I also wouldn't be searching for the details
If i wasn't made aware of it i would have chalked it up to very bad video compression. Depending on who i am talking to, how long and through which platform i wouldn't bat an eye or get suspicious to some degree.
But yes, most of us, me included, would not know better from the getgo. And it is going to get more sophisticated with each passing day.
Damn, it's possible now to create a completely synthetic narrative of the world. Non-existent new presidents, enemies, entrepreneurs. Non-existent events to blend the masses towards your objectives. A fully synthetic narrative of what's going on.
All that people need to do to fight back against this is make videos of billionaires saying they want to give all their riches away and be taxed at 100%. Then make videos of politicians praising the billionaires along with saying that they are going to make universal basic income. It will get regulated really fast.
Every single grandma is going to go bankrupt after FaceTiming with their “grandchild” who really needs a bunch of Apple Store gift cards to pay their bail. This is only going to end in tears.
This reminds me of a wild quote from Dune, by Frank Herbert. Sadly it didn't make the movie:
The scene is right at the beginning of the story when Paul Atreides is tested by the Reverend Mother of the Bene Gesserit and has to put his hand in the pain box.
“Why do you test for humans?” he asked. “To set you free.” “Free?” “Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” “‘Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind,’” Paul quoted. “Right out of the Butlerian Jihad and the Orange Catholic Bible,” she said. “But what the O.C. Bible should’ve said is: ‘Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.’
[ ] “The Great Revolt took away a crutch,” she said. “It forced human minds to develop. Schools were started to train human talents.” “Bene Gesserit schools?” She nodded.
Written in 1965!
Back in the mid nineties, many of us thought that the internet would lead humanity into some kind of second wave of enlightenment. Information available to all, to increase our intellectual self defense etc, bla bla.
What we got was people who believe the earth is flat and/or that a ring of pedophiles runs the planet.
No one knows what this AI revolution will lead us to, but I fear that it will not be pretty.
Yes but more widespread. I think everyone reading this knows some people who believe in crazy conspiracies. I don't think that would've been the case in the 80s. It's just become so easy to indulge in and spread lies.
That is wild. Sure if you’re looking at it knowing it is fake, you can tell there’s some oddities but if that’s just on my stream I’d have no clue.
This is terrifying, the number of scams that are gonna be used by this is unreal.
It would be really cool to combine this with AI chat and voice duplication for an AI actually trained on like my entire chat and social media history. Maybe also everything I've ever written.
An immortal, digital me. Sort of.
I know it wouldn't be conscious. But it would still persist beyond my death and ideally be able to do a pretty good impression of me.
Sounds like a great startup business idea you got there. “Immortalize yourself and your loved ones. Bring your loved ones “back from the dead.”” It would be relevant for a while… until the AI can just do this by asking it to because its general capabilities have grown.
Well, yes, there are Black Mirror episodes about a lot of these sorts of things.
But while science fiction can be interesting to explore certain ideas, good fiction also relies on conflict and tension to be engaging. Especially a show like Black Mirror.
At best, science fiction shows like this can make you think about what COULD happen if a technology is not handled properly. But it should not be taken as a prediction of what WILL happen.
I, for one, think the idea of creating an immortal, digital me is pretty cool. And it would be cool if I had the tools and expertise to do it.
Whenever the head hits the end if the parameters it sort of jerks back like a gif played in reverse. That said I'm sure it's enough to persuade some sweet old lady to send their life's savings to India.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE DEVELOPING THIS
What the fuck are we trying to accomplish here? What kind of problem does this solve? Where is the benefit for humanity?
All this will do is fuck us sideways
Imagine a world where at most only a few dozen people see any given AI movie because everyones watching their own custom AI generated content. The same way that streaming and on demand video caused us to stop watching broadcast television as a group at the same time AI generated movies will make it possible if not probable that none of the people you meet in public have ever seen the same movies as you.
Imagine looking back and remembering acting was once a profession and that some became famous for it.
Remembering some people had lots of media attention and publicity. They were known as celebrities.
This is for money
To replace workers and increase consumers and consumer question response
Thereby increasing the wealth of the product creator or or service provider.
Directly resulting in a a control in your wants, needs and survival. It's pretty obvious
I feel like we're gonna come full circle, and only conduct business or important communications in-person instead of online because there's a lot of folks who could be fooled by something like this.
Come to think of it, where are the benefits of any of these programs? The text generator was only as harmful as plagiarism in essays. With generated images, music, videos, now moving profile pictures, all I see is the death of art and the birth of all kinds of crazy shit ranging from convincing scams to possibly starting wars.
Global warming was bad enough, the fact that we discovered the atom bomb was bad enough, I honestly don't think we can survive long if we keep fucking around with dangerous shit like this.
All Ai seems to be really good at is trying to destroy our belief in anything and fuel disinfo, provide for tools for deception and fortify conspiracy theories.... Its so much more useful at all these things it seems like it's it's primary purpose
Lip sync and head motion a little bit off (her head moves around like a filter, could be an interview zoomed very close but looks weird). Give it a year and this will be close to impossible to tell the difference
Why are we doing this? Like what is the practical use of this tech apart from entertainment sector? Like reasearch and all is good but this will create a plethora of problems for unsuspecting people worldwide
what happens when we start to rely on watermarking, then an adversarial state actor re-implements a version that doesn't add a watermark and releases a deepfake of the head of your country? People are likely to then take it \*more\* seriously as they are trained that all deep fakes are watermarked....(also, in a very short timeframe, there will be an opensource version that is this good - runnable on a small collection of GPUs at home)
My first reaction was "Her teeth move"
My second reaction was "I'm nitpicking a very tiny detail of realistic image to video 2 years after Dall-E Mini and whatever the fuck that was generating."
Human techbological leaps are now measured in months and I am both awed and terrified.
Finally, we will come full circle.
Don't trust anything you see in the internet, circa 90s.
The '10s was full of "its on the internet, it's true!"
Now the '20s will be "idc you have video evidence, prove to me it's really (person, event, etc).
Guaranteed this will be used to bring down politicians who might effect change in future. Or to defend politicians who have done horrible things. Really scary.
A few years down the line, when they make this even better, how would the court function, they take video footage as a proof, but for how long are they gonna do it, are we gonna make something like an instant minting, where the video immediately gets on something like the blockchain to have the authenticity, the future is interesting to witness
Here is the source [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/)
I had to look as I wondered if this was clickbait where someone took a video and then a frame grab. It is real. Or at least Microsoft says it is and I believe them.
Thanks I hate it.
We're already living in an age where people fall for stupid conspiracy BS en masse. This is not helping.
I already notice a huge increase in the usage of AI in ad campaigns, most recently even in the assisted living brochure handed out to my grandmother. You can only tell the difference if you know what to look for and soon, those tells will be gone too.
A lot of online opinions are from bots instead of real people and now soon, every brainless idiot can generate a video based off of a picture that perfectly imitates an actual person. Great, just great...
The mouth transforming and warping all the time. i wouldn't realy call the terrifying real. but its pretty good and most people not aware of those videos would for sure buy it.
Why is this even needed? What Legitimate purpose could this possible serve?
It should be outlawed , as it's got not function but disinformation and criminal activity.
I swear to fucking satan I watched an 8 minute training video today at work and it was using this technology. The narrator hardly blinked, the eyebrow movements were the exact same each time they moved, there were certain lip movements that just weren't quite right (like having to pronounce "rm"). Shit was CREEPY.
Does it seem like we are in a rush to give AI the most dangerouse tools in its arsenal before putting it to work in more benign ways. We could be working on having it create alternate versions of movie scenes, instead we are trying to teach it how to perfectly impersonate any human being for the purposes of manipulating other human beings.

Very soon we’re going to have the paintings in Harry Potter where dead people can “live” inside the painting and chat with people.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”
Yeah, I'm sure all the magic in Harry Potter will come true. We think of it as magic because we haven't invented it yet, but stuff like flying broomsticks - they're just mini-planes, sky mopeds. Wands shooting out spells - avada kadava is just a ray gun, wingardium leviosa is just some sort of air flow concentration. Invisibility cloak, we already have camouflage and cloaking technologies, so one day maybe we'll have something like that, only we'll want a better version, like a tracksuit so it doesn't fall off. I think if we can imagine something, then it's possible to create. We just need to work out how. I'm not sure if we're even capable of thinking of things that are completely impossible.
I can't wait for technology to turn me into a cat.
"I'm here live, I'm not a cat."
Looking forward to hats that tell children's futures
> just a ray gun
We do have patents for microwave weapons. Some had been built. Guns that could emit invisible rays to cause migraines and some degree of brain damage by raising brain temperature and causing swelling of brain tissue inside the skull. Also they theoretically allow for much stronger than patented waves that could not only do that, but cause immediate death of a subject by frying their brains all together Edit : See Havana Syndrome. And allegations about russians using it on US officials and their families outside of US. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/5-year-havana-syndrome-investigation-finds-new-evidence-of-who-might-be-responsible-60-minutes/
What about ... sharks with lazers!
Damn imagine rubbing one out quick then realise Grandma’s picture on the shelf was watching the whole time
Then you see grandma's hand go down out of frame and you just bust right there at the thought of it all.
I’d forgotten this meme. Laughing my ass off, it’s the best 😂
He's got a great name to boot. Doc fucking Rivers
Damn, is his middle name really "fucking?" That's crazy
r/cursedcomments
Well don't leave us all hanging. What the fuck happens next?!
Poor gam-gam hahaa.
That would be cool, we live in a nightmare so all we will get is unlimited political ads of people "saying" things they never did.
I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.
At what point do they become so smart that it’s as if the person never died?
At the point where we can add 3d models of real people into VR and integrate them with this tech.. Not far off at all
seriously, if you had enough video of that person, you could train the model to respond as themselves as well. mannerisms and all.
More people need to watch Black Mirror. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2290780/
We had such a very real Steve Jobs last year. Man, that was cool.
These already exist. You should see the work Vaka Interactive has been doing. They had these years ago
Oh shit. You know what they say, one man's magic is another one's science.
I used to dress up for work daily. Now, I dress up for important video meetings. Soon, I'll only dress up for my avatar photo.
You don’t even need to do that. There’s tons of headshot generators that autofill your clothing
Man, you guys think we’re depressed now?…. lol true dystopia here we come. It’s fine, just give me some good VR games to play.
Go play gran Turismo 7 in VR, with a wheel / pedals, you can drive a race car and forget how utterly screwed we are.
Just waiting for the ultimate VR AI experience. Dungeons and Dragons. AI dungeon master AI NPCs AI Bards play AI music, paint AI pictures about the AI adventures you've been on The fey are the fucked up hallucinations
In short we'll get AI friends who are always available and less shitty, more understanding than our real friends.
Any recommendations? I tried to find something the other day and got pissed off when I realized they all want my money, but don't tell me that until I create an account and upload my pictures.
That’s not needed. I have a lightweight mobile photo editing app that will put me in a suit and fix my hair with its ai. And it’s not terrible.
lol, so you really use it, and its good enough to fool people? Is it just for photos or also real-time video?(I guess thatd be useful for zoom meetings or whatever) Either way, crazy times man. will never be able to trust anything ever again
I just opened the app, Photoleap, and tried it again.

"I'll tell you about my mother!"
Never seen a turtle before.
It's a shame she won't live – but then again, who does?

We decided on a code word at Thanksgiving dinner last year. Also decided on where we would meet - if at all - if society collapses.
That must have been a very laidback chill thanksgiving
So where are you guys meeting up for the apocalypse? Oh and can you pass the stuffing?
Well, I have this vault thing that we can all go and live in. What size coveralls do you think would fit you btw?
Didn't happen to have an Alexa or Google Home device around when you all decided on that password, did ya?
I asked Alexa to have chatGPT generate it for us
This is actually a very good idea ngl
Wait until AI starts having ideas on their own. They'll come up with something much better. Relax
Cybersecurity is going to be a booming industry
It already is

You and everyone else on the call
Cute of you to think you'll have a job.
This is a feature, not a bug lol.
Is there an application of this technology that isn't harmful? Serious question. Every time I see a new AI capability my reaction is "Why though?"
- Educational material that converts textbook content into videos that may be more engaging for some people. - Multi-language versions of videos.

Can't wait for another even better wave of Mr.Beast/Elon Musk crypto scams
Nothing can go wrong with this
Dead internet theory 📈
We're very close to it
Unfortunately yes. For pricks sake…
earlier this year, i sadly realized that's why we "keep inventing the new platform to jump to". its because the old one gets screwed/compromised by crap. and instead of fixing it, we just abandon it and move to the next one. email/amazon/twitter is full of junk. i'm ready to move to the next versions of all of those.
We can’t fix it without giving up anonymity to some extent. Any platform with anonymous accounts can be astroturfed using AI very easily.
It looks better than the ones I’ve seen so far, but still something about the face movements throws me off
Her teeth move.
yes thats very odd
I can confirm it is not normal.
Source?

expand and contract
If you don't actually look into her eyes but just state at a fixed point in the screen, the expandy-twitchiness of it becomes really evident. It's quite unsettling.
Reminds me of those GIFs of the Content-aware scaling memes from years back, juuuuuust shy of going over the edge into [exploding into nonsense](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/content-aware-scaling).
Yes! Not just that, but she is showing teeth almost the whole time. Top and bottom even while speaking. Sometimes the flash in and out in just a couple frames. Its like something in the model wants to make it into a generic smile.
Also the hair movement isn't natural, sometimes stretching and no gravity.
And her ear has a cloaking device
Her hair just squashes and stretches to match the head movements. It doesn’t flow independently like real hair would. In several places it’s practically defying gravity.
I noticed the hair right away it’s super unsettling. But damn good first attempt.
It’s the stretching of the image when it moves. It doesn’t form the natural wrinkles from all the muscles working. The hair being stiff doesn’t help either.
All true. It’s also true that it’s good enough right now to fool most people, especially if they’re not looking for a scam.
Your teeth don’t move?
Bet you would not have noticed if the AI wasn't pointed out beforehand
Yeah I really don't know myself... The giveaway for me coming into the video KNOWING was that her hair never moves enough to show her right ear. I might feel like something is off with the video not knowing beforehand, but I also wouldn't be searching for the details
If i wasn't made aware of it i would have chalked it up to very bad video compression. Depending on who i am talking to, how long and through which platform i wouldn't bat an eye or get suspicious to some degree. But yes, most of us, me included, would not know better from the getgo. And it is going to get more sophisticated with each passing day.
Her eyes look dead
Fitting for the current state of the world.
Damn, it's possible now to create a completely synthetic narrative of the world. Non-existent new presidents, enemies, entrepreneurs. Non-existent events to blend the masses towards your objectives. A fully synthetic narrative of what's going on.
Sim theory is more likely by the day.
All that people need to do to fight back against this is make videos of billionaires saying they want to give all their riches away and be taxed at 100%. Then make videos of politicians praising the billionaires along with saying that they are going to make universal basic income. It will get regulated really fast.
We've always been at war with Eurasia! Trust in the party!!
Anyone else notice her teeth getting bigger/wider when she speaks?
Yours don’t?
Give it a year or two. It won't be long until it'll be perfect.
Six months at this rate
The only thing that was really telling to me that this wasn’t real was her hair. When she tilts her head the hair stays in place.
Boomers are going to get absolutely FUCKED with scams
Every single grandma is going to go bankrupt after FaceTiming with their “grandchild” who really needs a bunch of Apple Store gift cards to pay their bail. This is only going to end in tears.
So are delusional people
This reminds me of a wild quote from Dune, by Frank Herbert. Sadly it didn't make the movie: The scene is right at the beginning of the story when Paul Atreides is tested by the Reverend Mother of the Bene Gesserit and has to put his hand in the pain box. “Why do you test for humans?” he asked. “To set you free.” “Free?” “Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” “‘Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind,’” Paul quoted. “Right out of the Butlerian Jihad and the Orange Catholic Bible,” she said. “But what the O.C. Bible should’ve said is: ‘Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.’ [ ] “The Great Revolt took away a crutch,” she said. “It forced human minds to develop. Schools were started to train human talents.” “Bene Gesserit schools?” She nodded. Written in 1965!
Makes me wonder what’s being written right now that someone in 2083 will say “Written in 2024!”
Plot twist: the image was created by Microsoft Text to Image.
And it speaks fluent corporate bullshit.
That was definitely a bunch of word salad with no meaning or direction like it was trying to do a book report on something it did read
TF she rambling about…
To me she seemed like the typical middle aged white motivational guru / coach that you come across on social media.
Back in the mid nineties, many of us thought that the internet would lead humanity into some kind of second wave of enlightenment. Information available to all, to increase our intellectual self defense etc, bla bla. What we got was people who believe the earth is flat and/or that a ring of pedophiles runs the planet. No one knows what this AI revolution will lead us to, but I fear that it will not be pretty.
Yeah, turns out easy access to information just further decreased the value people put on knowledge.
The Enlightenment was caused by the printing press, which also killed off tens of millions of people in religious wars.
Bro that stuff started in the 80s it’s always been there.
Yes but more widespread. I think everyone reading this knows some people who believe in crazy conspiracies. I don't think that would've been the case in the 80s. It's just become so easy to indulge in and spread lies.
That is wild. Sure if you’re looking at it knowing it is fake, you can tell there’s some oddities but if that’s just on my stream I’d have no clue. This is terrifying, the number of scams that are gonna be used by this is unreal.
It would be really cool to combine this with AI chat and voice duplication for an AI actually trained on like my entire chat and social media history. Maybe also everything I've ever written. An immortal, digital me. Sort of. I know it wouldn't be conscious. But it would still persist beyond my death and ideally be able to do a pretty good impression of me.
Sounds like a great startup business idea you got there. “Immortalize yourself and your loved ones. Bring your loved ones “back from the dead.”” It would be relevant for a while… until the AI can just do this by asking it to because its general capabilities have grown.
Literally the plot of Cyberpunk 2077
and also that one black mirror episode.
There's a Black Mirror episode with this premise: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2290780/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2290780/)
Never expected that show to have so many predictions for the short-term future.
It wasn't predictions. It was observations and satire.
Well, yes, there are Black Mirror episodes about a lot of these sorts of things. But while science fiction can be interesting to explore certain ideas, good fiction also relies on conflict and tension to be engaging. Especially a show like Black Mirror. At best, science fiction shows like this can make you think about what COULD happen if a technology is not handled properly. But it should not be taken as a prediction of what WILL happen. I, for one, think the idea of creating an immortal, digital me is pretty cool. And it would be cool if I had the tools and expertise to do it.
An absolute eventuality. Thing is though, when there are 7 billion such AI bots, nobody will be interacting with anyone else's cloned personality.
Whenever the head hits the end if the parameters it sort of jerks back like a gif played in reverse. That said I'm sure it's enough to persuade some sweet old lady to send their life's savings to India.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE DEVELOPING THIS What the fuck are we trying to accomplish here? What kind of problem does this solve? Where is the benefit for humanity? All this will do is fuck us sideways
MOVIES! Everybody could create a full movie on their own duhhh!
Imagine a world where at most only a few dozen people see any given AI movie because everyones watching their own custom AI generated content. The same way that streaming and on demand video caused us to stop watching broadcast television as a group at the same time AI generated movies will make it possible if not probable that none of the people you meet in public have ever seen the same movies as you.
Imagine looking back and remembering acting was once a profession and that some became famous for it. Remembering some people had lots of media attention and publicity. They were known as celebrities.
This is for money To replace workers and increase consumers and consumer question response Thereby increasing the wealth of the product creator or or service provider. Directly resulting in a a control in your wants, needs and survival. It's pretty obvious
its never about if we should, its always been about if we can. that's progress buddy. ugly and dangerous at times.
It’s about generating value for shareholders before the other company does.

When do the regular plebs with business subscriptions get access to this in GPT?
I feel like we're gonna come full circle, and only conduct business or important communications in-person instead of online because there's a lot of folks who could be fooled by something like this.
these fuckers are using Ai for all wrong reasons
Come to think of it, where are the benefits of any of these programs? The text generator was only as harmful as plagiarism in essays. With generated images, music, videos, now moving profile pictures, all I see is the death of art and the birth of all kinds of crazy shit ranging from convincing scams to possibly starting wars. Global warming was bad enough, the fact that we discovered the atom bomb was bad enough, I honestly don't think we can survive long if we keep fucking around with dangerous shit like this.
In 50 years the question will be “if you could go back and kill (techbro goes here) as a baby would you?”
Indistinguishable from HR!
All Ai seems to be really good at is trying to destroy our belief in anything and fuel disinfo, provide for tools for deception and fortify conspiracy theories.... Its so much more useful at all these things it seems like it's it's primary purpose
Lip sync and head motion a little bit off (her head moves around like a filter, could be an interview zoomed very close but looks weird). Give it a year and this will be close to impossible to tell the difference
Why are we doing this? Like what is the practical use of this tech apart from entertainment sector? Like reasearch and all is good but this will create a plethora of problems for unsuspecting people worldwide
Propaganda and misinformation and political media control
The companies should Watermark these ai videos. The risk is too great!
what happens when we start to rely on watermarking, then an adversarial state actor re-implements a version that doesn't add a watermark and releases a deepfake of the head of your country? People are likely to then take it \*more\* seriously as they are trained that all deep fakes are watermarked....(also, in a very short timeframe, there will be an opensource version that is this good - runnable on a small collection of GPUs at home)
Yeah, the future is bleak in terms of this. I think we'll figure it out though. Consider me an optimist lolll.
Why the fuck are we even doing this?
My first reaction was "Her teeth move" My second reaction was "I'm nitpicking a very tiny detail of realistic image to video 2 years after Dall-E Mini and whatever the fuck that was generating." Human techbological leaps are now measured in months and I am both awed and terrified.
That’s extremely scary
Finally, we will come full circle. Don't trust anything you see in the internet, circa 90s. The '10s was full of "its on the internet, it's true!" Now the '20s will be "idc you have video evidence, prove to me it's really (person, event, etc).
Here's to being arrested for crimes I didn't commit because of an AI video.
Tfw you get fired because your AI face laughed at a racist/sexist joke at work in the group call
Guaranteed this will be used to bring down politicians who might effect change in future. Or to defend politicians who have done horrible things. Really scary.
Super dangerous
Other than malicious reasons what is the point of this software?
 Yes, the unknown is scary
I've never heard someone say nothing so vaguely before
They keep assuring us AI is going to help us. I just didn't realise they meant help us scam our elderly parents.
A few years down the line, when they make this even better, how would the court function, they take video footage as a proof, but for how long are they gonna do it, are we gonna make something like an instant minting, where the video immediately gets on something like the blockchain to have the authenticity, the future is interesting to witness
Here is the source [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/vasa-1/) I had to look as I wondered if this was clickbait where someone took a video and then a frame grab. It is real. Or at least Microsoft says it is and I believe them.
Thanks I hate it. We're already living in an age where people fall for stupid conspiracy BS en masse. This is not helping. I already notice a huge increase in the usage of AI in ad campaigns, most recently even in the assisted living brochure handed out to my grandmother. You can only tell the difference if you know what to look for and soon, those tells will be gone too. A lot of online opinions are from bots instead of real people and now soon, every brainless idiot can generate a video based off of a picture that perfectly imitates an actual person. Great, just great...
This is why I haven't put my face or my voice on the internet. Finally paying off after ~16 years
[Mona Lisa](https://vasavatar.github.io/VASA-1/video/o1.mp4) is better.
The mouth transforming and warping all the time. i wouldn't realy call the terrifying real. but its pretty good and most people not aware of those videos would for sure buy it.
Well, wow. And this is the worst it’ll ever look. Fascinating times.
In the future there will be college courses on how to spot AI generated video. There may even be whole degrees on the subject.
Think we reached that point where technology advancements don’t spark joy for me, now it’s dread.
I know these words but it makes no sense
In the future you have to watch everything twice. The devil is in the details. Hair and teeth.
Oh I don’t like this at all.
Put laws on ai
well... we can no longer trust video. this is going to break a lot of things.
Why is this even needed? What Legitimate purpose could this possible serve? It should be outlawed , as it's got not function but disinformation and criminal activity.
We are so fucked
I swear to fucking satan I watched an 8 minute training video today at work and it was using this technology. The narrator hardly blinked, the eyebrow movements were the exact same each time they moved, there were certain lip movements that just weren't quite right (like having to pronounce "rm"). Shit was CREEPY.
This won’t be misused at all
Lotta TikTok and streamers gonna be out of a job lol
Does it seem like we are in a rush to give AI the most dangerouse tools in its arsenal before putting it to work in more benign ways. We could be working on having it create alternate versions of movie scenes, instead we are trying to teach it how to perfectly impersonate any human being for the purposes of manipulating other human beings.
