deepfake

some discussion of ctrl-shift-fake's work on the shining thread but his newest video (and the furthering/public access to the tech) suggest a dedicated thread's time has come

The Stallone Terminator 2 one was pretty inspired

also a good thread to discuss how this is going to destroy the world

deep fakes are the perfect weapon, soon anyone can claim something was deep faked and anyone can claim they are being deep faked.

why didn't he just leave the audio alone, the terrible dubbed in lines are an awful distraction

Technology to counter deepfakes is already pretty far along

nobody will be fooled by deepfakes, they'll just be used as justification

In case you haven't heard, #ZAO is a Chinese app which completely blew up since Friday. Best application of 'Deepfake'-style AI facial replacement I've ever seen.

Not sure about the first part. Over time it will get harder and harder to trust visual evidence of anything you didn't witness firsthand, and people will find new ways to cope or they won't. Deepfakes don't need to fool people 100%, they just need to be good enough so that someone can stand up and say it's real and some real footage is fake.

The more garbage is in the data stream, the more the entire contents of the stream becomes unusable for anything.

i mean that's kind of what i'm saying, consensus reality is already eroded. their real utility doesn't come from 'tricking' people but to give partisans or bad actors permission to do or say what they were going to anyway

A better William Gibson novel than that "what if Hillary won" thing he's working on.

The CEO of an energy firm based in the UK thought he was following his boss’s urgent orders in March when he transferred funds to a third-party. But the request actually came from the AI-assisted voice of a fraudster.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the mark believed he was speaking to the CEO of his businesses’ parent company based in Germany. The German-accented caller told him to send €220,000 ($243,000 USD) to a Hungarian supplier within the hour. The firm’s insurance company, Euler Hermes Group SA, shared information about the crime with WSJ but would not reveal the name of the targeted businesses.

Euler Hermes fraud expert Rüdiger Kirsch told WSJ that the victim recognized his superior’s voice because it had a hint of a German accent and the same “melody.” This was reportedly the first time Euler Hermes has dealt with clients being affected by crimes that used AI mimicry.

https://deeptracelabs.com/mapping-the-deepfake-landscape/

Our research revealed that the deepfake phenomenon is growing rapidly online, with the number of deepfake videos almost doubling over the last seven months to 14,678. This increase is supported by the growing commodification of tools and services that lower the barrier for non-experts to create deepfakes. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we observed a significant contribution to the creation and use of synthetic media tools from web users in China and South Korea, despite the totality of our sources coming from the English-speaking Internet. Another key trend we identified is the prominence of non-consensual deepfake pornography, which accounted for 96% of the total deepfake videos online.

Seems to be a rule that every new trend on the web starts with porn.

not true! there was... um... no, well... okay you may have a point.

shocked it's not higher than 96% tbh

the future is consensual deepfake pornography where people license their perfect bodies out for sex tapes with less attractive people's faces deepfaked onto them

i was surprised there are relatively few of these videos around so far--they said like 14,000. i guess they're still hard enough to make.

this is dumb but surprising how convincing shit is with minimal effort
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_6Tumd8EQI

I hope the video looks more convincing than that screengrab

Err... convincing ?

The voices and faces look accurate. The gestures are really off. With some better acting and costume design this technology could be used to make a really convincing fake—and it has like jordan peele’s obama.

Damn it !

emphasis perhaps less on "convincing" and "how convincing"
goalposts have shifted where absolute minimal effort makes something that might pass on first glance for a layperson

weird here in that i don't see bowie but i also really don't see rannels either... and if i didn't know it was a deepfake i don't think i'd notice the digital manipulation

every ilxor would benefit from watching at least the first minute or two of that youtube. just so you know what's coming down the pike at us and how fast it is arriving. one photo is now all that is needed as a source for making a pretty darn good deepfake animation.

jesus christ

It's kinda cool the way that technology has provided novel ways for total ghouls to violate the dead.

To rob's point, I'm glad this high profile example is getting pushback so publicly and vociferously right away so maybe it will help stem the tide of further ghouls attempting this stuff.

i am cool with an ai version of my simulated voice living on after i'm dead, but i would like to produce the texts for it to speak right now while i'm still living

from now on, my life's work shall be my death's life

just point it to ilx tbh

that's true for all of us! hmmm

maybe this tech could specify certain years or decades that it should NOT draw upon for the text

ai is so smart and powerful now i'm sure it could be like, "hmmmm that sounds painful and awkward, imma skip that one"

If I were a famous public figure I would record tons of random footage/speeches/whatever to be used after I die, scenes for movies not yet written and so on. Heck, if Bruce Willis can record all his scenes in one day for boilerplate action movies, yet alone Yul Brynner for posthumous smoking PSAs, the sky is the limit. Like, whenever I was bored I'd record three minutes of myself talking about, I dunno, frogs or something and just add it to the pile. then after I die, if someone has a use for it and wants to pay my estate, go for it.

the painful ai rejection

xp josh if i understand correctly, bruce willis wouldn't even have to record him saying his scenes. they could just take the boilerplate action movie text and apply the voice of bruce willis to it.

"get in the car!"
"i'm fine"
"he's getting away!"
"fuck!"

bruce willis is sitting pretty right now in other words

the question is, would bruce's literary executor sign off on it

*voice of bruce's literary executor, formless but clearly heard in surround sound*

"yes, the willis estate hereby signs off on that"

Yeah, but Bruce could sell official, verified posthumous content. Like, you could get a cheap knockoff off AI Bruce saying "get in the car," or exclusive unseen footage of Bruce saying "get in the car" for big, big bucks.

"fuck, i need to reload! get in the car! we've got to get out of here - to go to the ANNUAL CONVENTION OF HONDA SALES REPS, WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION, WELCOME SALES REPS, PICK UP YOUR FREE GIFT BAG AT CHECK-IN DESK!"

some artschool wag is going to release an indie film with the voices of The Rock and Emily Blunt and get it into MOMA

That movie already exists, it's called The Jungle Cruise.

but does it exist REALLY

the dead speak! it’s ghastly, dead people should be left alone unless they’ve clearly specified that they want their voices used for hilarious pranks or whatnot. the tech could be a godsend for living people who have lost their voice tho!

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna42782115

not that that’s likely to be its primary function when there are dead singers to milk. countdown to billie holliday’s rendition of 1-800 cars 4 kids has begun, the future is some weird shit.

there's a "singing for Pepsi" line available in Neil Young's voice already

I don't endorse the misuses but. When I first became aware of the technology it was in the context of hearing my son speak in his own voice.

Isn't this kinda what Roger Ebert was going for after he lost his ability to speak?

Happy belated tenth birthday to this article

Still speaking to us from the past.

here's a newer article: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/06/tech/tom-cruise-deepfake-tiktok-company/index.html

it's pretty gross how common it is for AI tech companies to pivot from extremely useful medical purposes to some boundary-violating shite that makes money (e.g., most "emotion recognition" start-ups)

Matt Stone talking about what they're going to do with the money from their new South Park deal: "We’re doing deep fakes. We have a studio with a dozen people who are deep fake artists. We’re working on a little more of this deep fake movie we’re trying to piece together."

he's going to have FDR speaking out against lockdowns isn't he

Boy, that's what I'd do with a billion dollars.

https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/09/13/1035449/ai-deepfake-app-face-swaps-women-into-porn

who could have predicted this though

From the beginning, deepfakes, or AI-generated synthetic media, have primarily been used to create pornographic representations of women, who often find this psychologically devastating. The original Reddit creator who popularized the technology face-swapped female celebrities’ faces into porn videos. To this day, the research company Sensity AI estimates, between 90% and 95% of all online deepfake videos are nonconsensual porn, and around 90% of those feature women.

this is incredible. i've noticed the questions are taken from the chat. is all the chat AI generated as well? or are those real people, and the AI stream is taking their real questions as "food" for the content?
