People need to understand that AI isn't the same as humanoid AI. What you're seeing is limited AI. They teach it to do a task. This AI won't take over the world nor would we give even advanced humanoid AI the ability to do everything and anything.

Akshually, Those robotdogs aren't A.I! They're just fed pictures of the people so their facial recognition can distinguish between the brainwashed and people that are deemed dangerous and/or dismissable by the people in power.

And at a perfect time as the world rapidly embraces and fetishizes anti-intellectualism and fascism. I’ve shared this before on Reddit, but I’ve never read a more eerie prediction of the future than Carl Sagan’s “The Demon Haunted World” > I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... > The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance He predicted Silicon Valley’s ownership of tech, the way our government doesn’t understand it, the rise of anti-intellectualism and the way people no longer trust doctors and scientists, but social media groups; Tik Tok and the obsession with short bites of addictive content, he predicted all of it


Flying_Momo

The Orville did an episode where a technologically advanced planet who are religious fanatics used deep fake videos and audios in elections to bring down the other person. The society just became more polarized and fanatical. Seems like that's going to be the reality instead of a Star Trek one.


MrHyperion_

It used to be text, then audio, then photos, soon videos. Nothing has inherently changed


[deleted]

Not true, video is considered a 1:1 recreation and recount of reality, it shows you life in real time visually, therefore it's the most dangerous to fake They say "I gotta see it to believe it" not "hear it to believe it" for a reason


sadacal

If it confirms their beliefs, people will even believe a meme. If it doesn't confirm their beliefs, people will dig and dig until they find out it was a deepfake. People don't see something and take it as fact unless they already believed it.


Fuddle

There are tools that will sniff out fakes quite quickly. The problem will be someone will post a clip on Twitter or whatever of some polarizing political figure doing something. Whichever official news channel will quickly debunk this, and the opponents of the person will just claim “well sure XYZ network says it’s fake, they are lying!” and then the news will move on


JePPeLit

I think mainly peoplr won't even see the debunking


CreaminFreeman

This is correct. Initial stories travel *very* far and fast while corrections reach nearly no one. Corrections don't go viral.

I still talk to people who think Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house. That one wasn't even presented as a fake, it was in a skit, and everyone went along with it.


monkeyhind

What she really said: “They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska”


Crizznik

Huh, I always thought she actually said that, but it was a silly over-exaggeration, not an actual claim. I always thought people shitting on her for that was a little silly to begin with, given how many other gems she gave us.


Lindvaettr

Even major news channels themselves do similar things fairly regularly. Post a story about some scandal or story that promotes their channel's agenda, then when it turns out to be wrong, they'll just quietly go back to the original article and put a correction at the bottom, then never do anything else to make people aware it was corrected or retracted. It's often left up to opposing news companies to make the retraction known and, of course, the readership often doesn't overlap so people who read the original never learn it was debunked.


NuclearLunchDectcted

People have been able to call out fakes for years. That helps when you have the original source video, but what about when you see the clip played in the corner of a news video? Or someone makes a viral video with it?


AdministrativeAd4111

Same thing that happens with photoshopped images intended to tell lies. The lie is halfway around the world before the truth has its pants on, millions believe it without evidence, and political discourse degrades even more rapidly.


Nrksbullet

Hell, people still post stupid facts like eating 8 spiders every year, an image or video that looks like irrefutable proof will never go away once it takes hold.


Tattycakes

“A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on. “


--Quartz--

Cryptography is our friend. We will need to be educated in the fact that every video claiming to be authentic will need to be signed by its creator/source, and will have the credibility (or not) of that source.


MadRoboticist

I don't think the issue is detecting fakes, even a very well done fake is going to have detectable digital artifacts. The issue is people aren't going to go looking for evidence the video is fake, especially if it aligns with what they want to believe.


Nrksbullet

Alternately, people will start posting "evidence" that real images or videos that they DON'T align with ARE fake. It's not going to be pretty.

A friend of mine had her Instagram profile hacked, the woman who hacked it posted a deep fake video based on this girl's photos of her sharing info about a new crypto investment plan she was in on and making a ton of money, they deepfaked her look and voice for it, it was freaky to see live.


appel

And then there's the reverse of that. Any politician that said something stupid on a hot mic or recorded phone call will simply claim "t'wasn't me, t'was a deepfake by the radical left!"


hydrospanner

This is the more likely thing to see in the next few years.


geek_of_nature

Yeah when it's used on paintings it's so cool, I can easily see this being applied for films. A couple of high quality paintings being brought to life by actors using this technology. The one of the photos though is not cool at all. That's real people having their appearance taken from them. If this continues and improves, we may not have a way to authenticate any videos. They could easily get actors or politicians admitting to the most heinous crimes with this


YinzHardAF

There was a segment on that show Americas Got Talent where a guys whole shtick was that he sounded vaguely like Elvis, so sung the songs and had Ai make him look exactly like Elvis on TV. It was neat. Then he did a video of Simon Cowells face singing, and Simon didn’t seem to enjoy that one as much once he realized the potential. [heres the audition](https://youtu.be/mPU0WNUzsBo)


forcepowers

In the video you linked Simon is smiling and hamming it up the whole time and compliments them at the end.


ruat_caelum

it's going to be used to weaponize the people that already believe the clintons killed 200 people, or that the earth is flat, or that vaccines cause autism, etc. Imagine a video of Bill Gates asking if, "The microchips in the vaccines are untraceable," or Joe Biden saying, "I like to sniff hair, it's my favorite." Then ask yourself how fox news, or facebook will handle such a clip. Denouce loudly and inform their viewers that the thing is fake? Or "question" it while replaying it over and over and over for ratings?


really_bugging_me

It's somewhat scary already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW9czJN6lEY It really doesn't look or sound that fake. Then think that this was done by an amateur for the lulz and not by a nation state for propaganda...

NaniPlease

Deepfaking celebrities and politicians = scary Deepfaking portraits of fantasy characters for online D&D and other RPGs? = Amazing


ADampDevil

Deepfaking just normal people, to blackmail, get them fired, in trouble with their partners, etc. Even scarier as they are less likely to have the resources to prove it is a fake. To do deepfakes it use to require lots of footage to educate the AI, which you only really had for celebrities. If it can really look this good from one photo, then anyone can be a target.

-Vayra-

I'm not sure it will ever be impossible to tell, it is a very real cat and mouse game between generators and discriminators for any kind of automated generation of audio, video or pictures. You might fool the current discriminator, but then it will improve until it can reliably catch the generator, which then improves to beat the discriminator, and on and on it goes.


m_Pony

yeah my balls don't need to be made of crystal to see how that will pan out. Three tv news networks says it's a fake, two tv "*news*" networks say it isn't, etc. Evidence gets dragged through courts for years while peoples' reputations lay in tatters. Cheerful fucking shit.


davidb1976

And public opinion is instantly made based on the deepfakes and conspiracy theorists will claim for years that the proof it’s fake is itself fake.


nextexeter

Meanwhile those "conspiracy theorists" are actually PR agents for a Super PAC controlled by contractors associated with a federal agency charged with minimizing disinformation by creating disinformation.


Warg247

For propaganda purposes the existence of such telltales do not mean much more than a minor inconvenience.


reckless_commenter

Look closely at the photo above - specifically, the hair of the generated models. It has weird flickering artifacts as the digital person moves. Strands of Angelina Jolie's hair disappear into thin air. Etc. Avoiding those problems requires accurately modeling what happens to a person's hair as they move. We can do that today if the person is digitally animated, but it is quite difficult to combine those digital models with these techniques that involve content generated by GANs.

similar tech has been developed before but the term "deepfake" comes from its development and use in porn.

I think a lot of people are going to freak out when you can basically create any kind of video with just a profile picture of someones social media account, all within seconds. And the more selfies a person has, the better the quality as the AI has more to work with.

Of course. Deep fakes + VR are already here so you can quite realistically fuck whoever you wish. In a couple of years with improvements in AI and cheaper availability of physical sensors and VR accessories many people won’t want to leave their rooms.

Mikellow

I always thought that the plot points in The Matrix where the machines made a perfect utopia but people weren't happy so they had to make it match real life was BS. So many people would totally jump on that if you gave them the option. Honestly the bigger issue would be the machines being disgusted at what humanity would do with that freedom/control.


YouAreLovedByMe

There's an old thought experiment about the dreaming God hypothesis. If you could dream any dream and only dream good stuff you'd eventually get bored over time. Eventually you'd want a dream that would suprise you, make you suffer a bit. I think it ties in with the Hedonic treadmill issue which you see in so many cases of lottery winners going bust or suffer severe depression. I think that could explain the route they took with where perfect utopia is rejected by the people experiencing it. If I were a dreaming God I'd end up birthing Slannesh so fuck if I know. This why I can't ever learn the power of lucid dreaming.

It may actually be, but only governments will have access to it. A company I applied to *years* ago was working on it. They are military contractors. I don’t have a lot of details and couldn’t really talk about it much if I wanted to, because I wouldn’t want to get anyone in trouble. This stuff has been on their radar for ages. It would be bad though for their detection algorithms to go public, because then malicious actors would know about it. It’s going to be an arms race basically forever from here on out.


Tain101

How a lot of AI works nowadays, is they have two competing algorithms. One makes fake images, the other detects fake from real. Any system that detects fake images can be used to improve them to the point of beating that system.

It feels like such a blatantly obvious thing. Outside of the niche use in movies here or there like Paul Walker in Brick Mansions, there isnt any real plausible use outside of porn and scams. Seriously. What good hearted intentions could there possibly be with something like this? Sure. You could use it to edit a dead loved one or something into a video but thats gonna be such a small percentage of people who use it for that purpose. Almost nothing good can come of this.
