Well, I understand how it works, and I still find it freaking amazing. The quality is... impressive.

On the flip side, the ability to deep-fake a face in real time on a video call is now accessible to pretty much every script kiddie out there.

In other words, you can no longer trust what your eyes see on video calls.

We live in interesting times.

It's interesting, because the subconscious ability of the mind to identify discrepancies is incredible (even if we ignore that feeling we get about something).

The feel of counterfeit bills, the color someone choose to wear, the sound that doesn't quite fit.

I think deep-fakes are mostly a danger to people without a lot of source material for their minds to compare against. You could trick me into believing I was taking with Elon, but not my son.

FTA: "Ethical Use Safeguards

Built-in checks prevent processing of inappropriate content, ensuring legal and ethical use."

I see it claims to not process content with nudity, but all of the examples on the website demo impersonation of famous people, including at least one politician (JD Vance). I'm struggling to understand what the authors consider 'ethical' deepfaking? What is the intended 'ethical' use case here? Of all the things you can build with AI, why this?

How long until we see "anti-cheat"-like software to try to detect this stuff for video chatting?

I'm guessing that finding a technology to try to detect this would be over-engineering. I'd love to see a sample where the person with the swapped face passes their hand with spread fingers over their face, and see how it handles that.

Facinating software although I hope the idea "we're gonna rely on people to be good humans and DO THE RIGHT THING" is quickly abandoned and instead there is just as robust development of detection software that goes along with newer and better deep fake tools.
