How about copyright?
Can they make more drumpf thanos and GoT videoes without legal repercussions?
How about copyright?
Yeah it's not far off the Running Man where the shows producers doctor footage to show the opposite of the real events to frame Schwarzenegger's character. The future is now indeed. It could get messy.The scary part is that people barely read now. Heated arguments and serious social and political divisions are formed from half-assed information and misplaced passion. Can you imagine a world where something like video evidence, which is currently the great arbiter, is completely unusable because of tech like this? Can you imagine how many people could conceivably be accused of crimes that they didn't commit, or crowds swayed, or just people manipulated in a way that dwarfs the recent Facebook betrayal? Can you imagine such ramifications because of the ease of tech like this?
I remember when R.Kelly had his infamous video and claimed, "it wasn't me" and everyone laughed because the level of CGI it would've taken to pull off something like that required WETA/ILM level mastery. Now? When some guy can pull this off in his basement, you actually won't be able to trust ANYTHING that you see. Video evidence will be inadmissible in courts. Or, worse, totally used and manipulated to terrible effect.
In a news world where speed is prioritized over the accuracy, I just can't imagine what would happen a media outlet pulled a compelling deep fake.
Frightening stuff. Pandora's Box description is super appropriate.
No need. Just deepfake everything.
Yeah. This tech is dangerous and deeply unsettling. We need to shut it down fastThe scary part is that people barely read now.

How will filmmaking look like in the future?
I could see a future where actors just record hundreds of hours of videomaterial of their faces in different situations and displaying different emotions which then can be used to as a source material for deepfakes
Basically shoot a film with random replacement actors and then select a famous actor from a database to replace them with in the endproduct
I like the ones with Jim Carrey in The Shining
The famous bat scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZRUZzZPGto
I would be so up for a remake of this with Jim Carrey if nobody is going to deepfake the entire movie with him in it.
That channel I linked has a lot of crazy videos. The latest one is Gollum in Trainspotting lol.
