That's the first time I've seen "deepfake" used to refer to generated text, isn't that term usually used for generated imagery/audio which is passed off as real?
- loeg 2y agoNot necessarily passed off as real, but otherwise yes.
- daveguy 2y agoElon should definitely pass a law that "deep fake" can't be used to refer to text. Otherwise what's he going to do with twitter?
- Insanity 2y agoI had the same reaction - but I guess images was just the first obvious application of fakes. ai text is similarly fake in the same vain
- Hizonner 2y agoNo, text is not fake in the same vein. The whole point of deepfakes is that they're images of real people in situations they were not in. Unless you're actively claiming that some victim wrote the text, it's not similar.
- Insanity 2y agoMh fair point. I guess the terminology / actual use of the words will evolve over time as AI becomes ever more prevalent. I'll probably have the deepfake - image/video connotation for some time.
