I suspect that a combination of the two is where it's at, ie, store a lossy classical compressed version, then remove the artifacts/dream up details with deep learning
or pretrain the network on the movie you want to compress, then ship cartoon compressed version + trained network.

#113Kind of surprised this stuff hasn't totally blown away traditional video compression techniques yet.

#114I'm probably being captain obvious here, but if this is what's being released for free, I wonder how much better a polished commercial version does, and when we reach the point where we can't trust anything we see anymore. It doesn't even have to be super perfect, even reaching the point where it takes experts about two weeks to determine if something's real or not might already be long enough to do great damage. Fro…

AI can also be used to identify these fake videos, and they are probably better than human identification. There will be a rise of AI forensics. The type of neural network they use (GAN) works by having two networks battling each other, one tries to generate fake, and another (discriminator) tries to identify fake, it's a constant arms race. As the generator gets better, the discriminator also gets better. Which mean…

It could also lead to crimes like Blackmail becoming extinct. It would be hard to hold incriminating recordings of anyone over them if near-perfect audio and video synthesis was common. Especially for public figures with lots training data available.

Someone's gonna come up with a simple way to sign pics and videos with public key encryption, after which signed media will be the only stuff that is trusted. Of course people will still make sex tapes and sign them when they are drunk because the signing software will be automatically integrated into the camera app, so blackmail is still a possibility.

But.. if the camera app automatically signs pics/vids, that would mean that a private key is available to the app without any passphrase (or one embedded in the app :O).. So why not just extract they key and sign your fake vid?

We'll have systems arguing with each other and no way to tell which is correct. If, for example, someone is able to get a copy of the forensic AI model, they can train their decoder/generator to work against it until the results pass as legitimate. With no human ability to argue with the results of the forensics AI, we'll just trust it and pass it off as truth.
If you can clone the jury and conduct a quadrillion private trials, your chance of success in court is going to increase substantially.
Things gonna get creepy.
