Would not surprise me when, eventually, browsers are going to mark content as fake. If there's DBs of ad networks, there might also be DBs of deepfakes.

- diegoperini 7y agoHow come this hasn't happened for news articles without video? Or has it? I am aware of the bias issue but that never stopped volunteers before.
- mkl 7y agoNew ad networks are not continuously automatically generated. I think DBs will be an impossible way to do it, as they will always lag far behind. Automatic detection is probably the only possibility, and it is likely to become very fallible as the generated content gets better.
- syshum 7y agoThe problem with is always how do you tell if something is actually fake. Most of the time it ends up with Truth = Deep Pockets, i.e CNN, NY Times, Fox News, MSNBC, LA Times, etc are all "True" even if they do spread false info. and Random YouTuber's or Blogs are labeled as "Fake" if if the info is true.
- Nasrudith 7y agoIf anything looking for "unreal" patterns to the pixels would probably work better than a database and even that has limits. I know before the moral panic of deep fakes started there were subreddits with them on movie scenes and they had obvious distortions in flesh tones.
- EasyTiger_ 7y agoI could definitely see Chrome start doing this.
- bagacrap 7y agoIf browsers were in the business of general censorship wouldn't they already apply a DB based blocking system to child porn? When deepfakes actually become easy to produce, and pervasive, then humans will stop trusting videos in the same way most folks do not blindly trust still images (an image of Trump's head perched on top of a Mr Olympia body would not fool anyone). At that point I doubt browsers will need to take any explicit censory action.
