While what you say is reasonable given a sufficiently long span of time, I think it's also reasonable to expect that there will be very significant growing pain

While what you say is reasonable given a sufficiently long span of time, I think it's also reasonable to expect that there will be very significant growing pains between now and when the public ultimately comes to understand AI-generated media as a part of daily life.
- echelon 6y agoI think we're maybe a year away from that. Most of these results are being produced from open source models that are difficult to set up and run. I joined a few Discord servers that were started this year for deep fake video and voice, and they're now huge. We're also just now seeing subreddits explode with content [1]. My website, vo.codes, is starting to take off on Twitter. My phone is blowing up with retweets, mentions, and followers. Youtube is overflowing with the stuff [2] Give it a year and these results will be everywhere. The kids love it. Memes are going to normalize it.

- anthony_romeo 6y agoI think you and I are there now. But there's a looooong gap of knowledge between you and me about this stuff versus, say, grandma and grandpa who live out on the farm. To be clear, I'm not a luddite, I think this tech is/can be extremely fruitful for creatives -- a new paradigm of creativity. But the fruit can also be plucked by many propagandists, and IMO there can be serious consequences right now unless we educate people about this stuff right now. I'd argue that the approach can't be fear alone, but it also can't be all sunshine and rainbows. Edit: I also just want to say that the work you're doing/referencing is very helpful toward this education
