This is creepy in the best case (which would cause me to ignore the recruiting email) and ethically dubious in the worst case (which would also cause me to ignore the recruiting email, but also call out the company on social media for doing so).
This blog post mostly makes me think less of both the startup and the investors. Deepfakes are a delicate issue and this post treats them more as a fun opportunity.
- brianforde 5y agoTotally agree about deepfakes being a delicate issue. That's why we labeled the video as being synthetically generated so there wouldn't be any confusion. It's more of a novelty. I appreciate how you might think less of us -- but we do think deepfakes can we used in fun and interesting ways as long as 1) the person being generated has agreed to it and 2) you're clear with how you label the video so the public or the recipient knows the difference. We did both because we share your concerns.
