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?…

The number one use case for this will be to beat KYC checks, which means KYC procedures will get more annoying and bothersome for everyone else!

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.

Face tracking has existed for years now. I frankly don't see what's different between what you described and FaceRig.

You're missing the point: I want a fake version of myself.

I want a model which is made photoreal with my own image, so it can be given a voice in real time with my words, but a filtered version of my facial expression and pose.

So how I look and act is essentially scriptable.

Interesting... This project is built upon "GFPGAN v1.4" ( https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN ) and "FaceSwap Extension - Automatic 1111 - Proof of Concept" ( https://github.com/revolverocelot1/-webui-faceswap-unlocked ). The GFPGAN project is grounded on its own in the paper "GFP-GAN: Towards Real-World Blind Face Restoration with Generative Facial Prior" by Wang et al. ( https://xinntao.github.io/projects/gfpgan )

This is not a new face swapping technique, it’s a wrapper around inswapper (aka InstantID, an IP adapter): https://github.com/haofanwang/inswapper

Technically impressive but I fail to see a good use case for it that's not related to propaganda or scam and the website doesn't seem to list one either.

It's fun for goofing around. Imagine a conference call with your buddies and each one comes with a different deepfake. Kind of like a costume party but on camera.

I don't think that compensates all the bad uses it will probably have.

In general I think payment processor are not required to associate with anybody. The government (in the US at least) is limited in their ability to prevent you from buying guns and making porn (a form of speech), but they can’t make people do the transactions with you; the right to have somebody process payments for you is not constitutionally protected. But I’d be at least curious (as a non-lawyer) if there could be…

The real answer to the guns/abortion comparison is there are a lot of people that Will loudly state their opposition.

No (or few) politician is going to stand up for porn

Of all the things you can build with AI, why this? That can be asked of 90% of what's come out of the latest AI bubble so far. Like a lot of technology, AI has so much potential for good. And we use it for things like games that simulate killing one another, or making fake news web sites, or pushing people to riot over lies, or making 12-year-olds addicted to apps, or eliminating the jobs of people who need those job…

The answer is that anyone working on deepfakes doean't care much about ethics or they wouldn't be doing it in the first place.

OTOH now that we know the technology is possible, would you prefer that only some actors had perhaps the ability to do that. or perhaps not and having the lingering doubt that anything you see could be deep fake but there could always be plausible deniability that it would be too hard to actually carry it out. If the technology is actually made widely available that just reveals that the Pandora box was actually alre…

The claim of "deepfake" will be much more difficult to disprove than "my account was hacked"
