Best demo would be to take some famous photo, find its position in gan-space then move it around.

#82I'm thinking that soon video and images are going to be just dead weight in journalism, adding nothing other than decoration.
I think there has to be some kind of cryptographic signature solution, like "The BBC verifies that this image is authentic".
If you trust how the bbc tells the story, you also trust them when they say the image is true. Not a technical problem IMO.

> What do we need human actors for at this point? Everything can be generated by AI now. For blockbusters? If the tech still isn't there, it may be soon, and we won't need actors. For cinema where we care it was made by humans, for humans? Actors will always be needed. Also, theater still exists and people enjoy it.
Theater is a niche now. And whenever I go to the theater with my wife we are the only members of the audience under 50. Doesn't look like this form of art will survive very long. I don't think people care very much whether characters are played by real humans. It used to be that dangerous stunts were performed live. Nobody cares that they were replaced by CGI. Nobody cares that Tom Cruise doesn't really jump out of t…
According to this logic marvel superhero movies will soon be the only existing form of art.

Sure but then the image gets copied shared reposted etc. If the images had cryptographic provenance included, sites like Reddit or Twitter could verify and display that, or lack thereof.
I would use the same infrastructure as HTTPS, so an image could be signed by bbc.co.uk. That way if you trust that domain you could trust the document, wherever you come across it.

Because one is on proper stock art and the other on anything without asking the creators for authorization? "AI art tools Stable Diffusion and Midjourney targeted with copyright lawsuit" - https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/16/23557098/generative-ai-ar...
Search on Twitter, the artists in the Adobe dataset are also livid (justifiably) because they didn't consent to their work being used for AI training. The Adobe license agreement is broad enough that Adobe is covered legally, but it isn't enthusiastic consent in any sense of the word. Many, many artists would never have submitted their work to Adobe if generative AI had been a known possibility, so using Adobe's prod…
So like two drunk people having sex and the law trying to figure out who consented

But why? If it is on bbc s website bbc is already saying it is good. Same for any other media. The technical approach is interesting but not needed IMO in this case.

Like I said, because you might come across the image on Reddit or Twitter but have no idea if it's real or not.

#88Has anyone built the "online photoshop that incorporates all of the latest AI image editing tools asap and sells access as a premium subscription with lots of GPU access for smooth editing" business yet? I'd be curious to know.
It would be cool if https://www.photopea.com supported those types of AI manipulation plugins.
Re: Drag Your GAN: Interactive Point-Based Manipulation of Images
#89Hello, post-truth world! More seriously, I think that digital photos, and especially low-res surveillance camera coverage, will soon be inadmissible in any reasonable court, because tools like this would allow to forge such evidence in very natural-looking ways.
Being able to fake something really doesn't matter all that much, as you'd still need to get that fake video into the surveillance camera system and you need to do so in the time between committing the crime and the police arriving, and without leaving a trace and hoping that whoever you try to incriminate doesn't have an alibi. Fakes will be relevant for Twitter, TikTok and Co., where random videos are posted and di…
Ah, but for law enforcement types to say "hey, look what we found on the surveillance video server!" is a potential problem. The power asymmetry in society is ripe for exploitation by the powerful. They just need some goons - of which there are plenty - to do the dirty work.

There are a million of these. It's a super crowded space. https://civitai.com/ https://lexica.art/ https://openart.ai/ (Many more)
They are all for image creation. I would love to have one to edit my photos.. not generate images from prompt.
You can edit your photos with the models and tools for image creation, because those tools can work on a source image (img2img, inpainting, outpainting) as well as just a prompt and blank canvas.
