Sometimes I wish the Internet had never been invented... on 09:14 - Dec 28 with 587 views | NthQldITFC | If we think that the misinformation situation is bad now, in just a few years time (or less?) as deepfake technology becomes unspottable and also available to the ignorant or malevolent masses, and the undermining of reputable journalism continues, how the hell are we going to know anything is real? We might in a way be going back to a situation where you can only believe something if you are there to see it directly with your own eyes. Legislation can do fk all to stop something like this, which might just seem like a little joke at the moment, but deepfake and AI are perhaps as much of a threat to human civilisation, as climate change is to the planet as a whole, and both are happening right now. As a species, we are not wise enough to control the effects of our own cleverness, and I think that while many can see this, we tend to treat it as a joke rather than face up to the implications. | |

Agreed. Deep fakes are a disaster waiting to happen. | |
