Just need to add voice augmentation and every grandma and grandpa in the world will have their bank accounts cleaned out! Better go warn mine now! XD
Only if by "grandma" you mean "Millennial" and by "grandpa" you mean "Gen Z." Your ageism doesn't jibe with reality:

A practical use of this would be to animate your face onto a CGI model which was independently posed for the purposes of video meetings - which is something I've always wanted. Let me separate my face, body and words and craft the experience.
This makes me think there could be use for a very very (very) easy-to-use tool that allows two parties to choose and store a secret (verbally pronounceable) passphrase known only to the two of them, for use in situations in which it might be necessary to ‘sign’ a video chat or audio conversation in which one party’s identity might be in doubt.
So, quite literally, a "password" in its original pre-internet meaning.
I miss the recent past where new tech felt exciting and inspiring but for the last few years new developments are often coupled with an anxiety for the new harms possible and often unclear benefits. I wonder how much is 'inevitable', at large enough scale we will always exploring new possibility spaces as they become available and how much is our choosing – we put resources to build these things in full awareness bec…
> I've notice I've steadily become more ashamed to be associated with tech Are you actively contributing to these areas you feel ashamed about? If not, you shouldn't really feel ashamed about what other people chose to work on, even if both of you work "in tech". I'm sure not all people working on medical research agrees with what all other researchers are working on, but you cannot really control what others are wor…
Why not? Someone who builds boxes that hold bombs can be ashamed of being in the munitions industry, even if they don't make the actual bombs.
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 tak…

Grandparents absolutely fall for some scams at disproportionate rates. And are less likely to be able to recover. (A 19 year old who loses everything has many more productive years to recover than a 72 year old.)
Also, humorously, millennials are starting to become grandma and grandpa. Elder millennials are in their mid 40s. It's young, but not impossible for them to be grandparents now.

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?…
For many (notably mastercard and VISA), when they say “ethical” they really mean anything but porn.
