Actually I think making this kind of AI easier to access is a way to reduce the negative effects of this kind of tools.
If only ML engineers can make deepfakes, people are actually going to believe deepkfakes.
If every 12yo asshole kid flood the internet with deepfakes, then people will actually realize that anybody can fake a video, and stop believing everything they see, which will greatly reduce the potential for misinformation/harassment/the spread of false rumors about people
- michaelteter 3y agoI would be inclined to think this as well. The problem is, large numbers of people will still accept the fakes when it suits their beliefs, and they will claim fake on real footage that doesn't mesh with their beliefs. This will definitely accelerate the decline of humanity, but we were headed downhill already anyway.
- sorokod 3y agoOne of those "things have to get worse before they can get better"? Stop believe anything they see you must mean. Anyway all academic, prepare for interesting times.
- croes 3y agoYou know the damage script kiddies do with one click solutions?
- throwawayadvsec 3y agothis isn't a "hacking" tool though
- steve_adams_86 3y agoHow is it not? This makes something like social engineering potentially far easier. Wouldn’t that be considered a tool in the hacking toolbox?
- throwawayadvsec 3y agoif we follow that logic photoshop and pdf editors are hacking tools
- cookieperson 3y agoYou could use those things to assist an attack. It's been done many times. But they just don't scale. These types of tools scale. Also I'd love to see someone realtime fake their identity with Photoshop or a pdf editing tool. Seriously send me links I'd love to see it
- cookieperson 3y agoThis is 100% a hacking and extortion/blackmail/propaganda tool. Aside from entertainment I'd love to hear of a different use case...
- nickelcitymario 3y agoAside from entertainment, what's the use of Adobe Premiere? Or Davinci Resolve? Seems odd to exempt the one use case that this is most valuable for. Look at how many Hollywood movies had their CGI improved by fans using this kind of tech and a laptop. Now imagine what happens when indie film directors have access to the same tech, which simply requires learning these tools. I'm not dismissing the very real and very legitimate concern about how deepfakes can be (and are being) used for blackmail, extortion, and propaganda. But I wouldn't discount the legitimate uses.
