I'm imagining the value for making actual theatre movies will be a bigger issue. You can have Humphrey Bogart in a science fiction thriller! We'll have to come up with new rules.

Hey, this could actually be awesome. Everybody could make their own preferred version of the movie.

Movie studios could get away with legal problems just by releasing videos without the faces, and letting the audience download faces through gray market channels.

Contrary to the article's stance that this would be used to create fake revenge porn or celebrity sex tapes that are taken as real, I'd expect this to devalue the real thing and give space for people to claim anything with their face in it is fake.

We've already seen this with images and Photoshop. Society and their heuristics of belief will adjust as these new capabilities become widespread. What's more troubling is that as media becomes falsifiable, solid evidence of...well, anything, becomes hard to have. The ultimate loser there is the truth, sadly.

This is where hardware signing comes into play.

You could have someone who looks identical to Bogart, but that isn't Bogart.

Indeed. The worst use of this will be forged political speeches. What happens when you can fake any video of anyone saying anything and then feed it to the social media outrage machine?

I already thought about this possibility a decade ago. Anyway, the world is going to be a strange place. I'm sure that soon, nobody will believe anything they didn't see with their own eyes.

It seems likely we are only one or two tech breakthroughs from not even being able to trust our own eyes. It's going to get strange.
