Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral on social media. So she clicked on it. She saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake. (www.nytimes.com)

So where is this video? Genuine curiosity, I'd like to see how real it looks

It's this one, although I can't find the original, only the reaction to it.

I think this is a good thing. Now there's plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that's just a deepfake! Don't cancel me, it's not real.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, what a good thing, the end of consequences and easily proven fact.

[–] trk@aussie.zone 0 points 1 hour ago

We've got a world "leader" who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren't worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.

Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.

Hard to imagine how they're going to take down deepfakes without limiting freedom of information or how they will prove who made the content.

Block chain!

i kid, but it could

Well they already have a leg up with the TAKE IT DOWN Act that Democrats worked with Ted Cruz and Trump to get passed.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

To my knowledge, that only covers pornographic content.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

And the Patriot Act was only implemented to catch terrorists. What's considered "pornographic content" is entirely subjective and up to the personal feelings of a particular judge.

...for now...

Are you sure it isn't fake?
