- cwkoss 7y agoI feel like we just need some comedians to make a bunch of entertaining, realistic but labelled-fake content with deepfakes. Production cost of making a show where each actor is deepfaked into a world leader or dead historical figure or whatnot is not a significant hurdle.
- shearskill 7y agoThere is The Fakening channel on YouTube that does this - clearly labeled fake: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC5D-8hVVwLB0DNrcSBqoVxg https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC5D-8hVVwLB0DNrcSBqoVxg

- cwkoss 7y agoThat was a good start!
- jalgos_eminator 7y agoYes, I realize that and photoshopping got a bunch of press for being used on modelling pictures to "enhance" the models before putting them in magazines. These deepfakes will probably be used to do some other similar things as well. My point was that deepfakes aren't anything new and we already have the tools to analyze them. Those tools just aren't computer programs, they are people posting videos on youtube going pixel-by-pixel to show how a certain photo was doctored. After all, a video is just a series of photographs. I think writing computer programs designed to spot these deepfake videos would be very helpful as the volume of doctored videos increases, but this isn't some disruptive technology (at least for people trying to deceive others).
- chrisco255 7y agoYou're kidding yourself. A large majority of Americans still believe Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house, and that was SNL satire. It will be very difficult to undo the damage done by a convincing and well-timed deep fake. Especially a fake that people want to believe.
