Maybe I'm bad at spotting these things but it looks and sounds super convincing to me. I really dread this technology weaponized in politics.

I think once deepfaking reaches a sufficient level of believability, people will stop believing video evidence.

Why would it have more impact than photoshop? We just don't trust an image unless we are confident of the source. The same will apply to video.

There are videos of Nessie, Bigfoot and Aliens for decades. Are we still trusting video?!

Looks great. I think it's definitely possible to tell that it's fake if you already know that it's not a real video, but I probably wouldn't have noticed anything out of the ordinary if I weren't already primed to spot subtle issues in their faces.

According to another comment, only Tom Cruise is fake

Yeah but if you look carefully, those videos don't look like the real Nessie, Bigfoot or Aliens whereas Deep Tom Cruise is much more convincing.

I wonder if porn industry will first see widespread adoption of deepfakes or jump straight to AI-generated humping. "Hi PornGPT, make me a film with X actor and Y actor doing so-and-so, culminating after 5 minutes - I'm in a rush".

Deepfake celeb porn is already illegal in some countries, IIRC, after it hit the media a few years ago.

A bunch of people will believe it for some amount of time, and given the very low cost of producing it, it’ll be enough. If there is one thing we learned from the recent increase in mainstream extremism fueled by social networks is that fake rumors don’t have to be especially reasonable to be effective; they just need to be generated and broadcasted at a sufficient rate (selection will do the rest of the work). One interesting question is: is one protected by freedom of speech when generating fake videos clearly intended to harm another person’s image?

Even regular porn is illegal in some countries. I guess people watch it anyway.
