Talking TV heads are already deep fakes. I'm glad computer fakes will finally erode the confidence of public into those people, from news anchors to presidents.

Talking TV heads are already deep fakes. I'm glad computer fakes will finally erode the confidence of public into those people, from news anchors to presidents. Took almost a century to arrive here.
- pengaru 6y agoWhile I agree on your first point, the rest completely misses that the public will continue to be tribal and instead only believe the talking heads of their given tribe as authentic in a world rife with deep fakes. I fully expect the outcome to be increased tribalism, when faith in your tribe's leadership and information sources is the only source of comfort, confidence, and "truth". I don't think it will be the opposite where everything is questioned and critical thinking suddenly becomes prolific as you seem to imply.
- juskrey 6y agoLocal talking heads by definition can be punched into the face, seen in the local coffeeshop etc. They have skin in the game. Presidents don't.
- pengaru 6y agoWhat does that have to do with deep fakes pushing consumers of Fox News talking heads further into the arms of Fox News? Are you imagining if Tucker Carlson were punched in the face at his local coffee shop, he'd shut up? :rolleyes: His following would only grow larger and more supportive as he milked the controversy for all its worth.
