Link a blockchain app made with IOTA (for example, but this is the best and most manageable protocol I can see out there just now) to your unique ID in the form of something like your heartbeat plus your physical location plus your actual body shape, then perform a mini-transaction every 30 seconds or every minute or the granularity you need, finally store the transactions linked to that data as an alibi against any…
> unique ID in the form of something like your heartbeat plus your physical location plus your actual body shape, then perform a mini-transaction every 30 seconds Extreme surveillance, for what? To give evidence that you weren't in a fake dancing video? I can't see this happening any time soon ...
Interested people just opt in.

It is still noticeable in normal performances. You can hear unnatural overtones from autotune used as intended. Even more so when supposed singers use it live and have to stay glued to their mic to isolate any outside noise.
Interesting! Do you have examples where it is possible to hear these unnatural overtones?
Pick up any modern pop record. Some are worse than others, but all are auto tuned.
Just Google worst auto-tune for examples, because it's so common now, most people don't notice it. Here's a list of some examples:

Also, if you're not really musical you might have a hard time picking it out. I found that as soon as I learnt an instrument, songs suddenly became layered and I could pick out and distinguish different instruments, and notice mistakes.

Or you could just be critical, and be aware of the limitations of media as it pertains to representation of truth and reality. Besides, techniques for identifying fakes is likely to lag closely behind the techniques for producing them. The first time we talked about "DeepFakes", someone I know pointed out that there is nothing inherently new in this issue. Media has been faked to manipulate the truth as long as there…
Unbiased courts or at the very least your legacy as an innocent person if you get however smothered need a bullet proof you did not do what deepfakes claimed you did. As for privacy, again, blockchain makes your data fully available to you only and you only need to disclose the relevant bits against the time-space accusation you face. Trust cannot be delegated but reliable technical means would help a lot.
Why not just put less trust in video?
The courts should know that videos can be doctored, just as images can be photoshopped.
As the burden of proof lies with the accuser, it is they that would need a bullet proof argument that you did in face do what the video claims you did – and video is not alone in and of itself to establish truth.
As for the data gathering: the existence of the proposed data presents a threat for the subjects (and society) in and of itself.

#96Very impressive! I'm a bit disappointed though that they didn't also include results for a synthetic source video with "impossible" poses (e.g. joints bending backwards, stretching, separating from the body or performing full rotations). That would have been pretty interesting (though perhaps a bit unsettling) to see.
I'm really impressed that the shadows behind in the window are reasonably realistic too.

There is nothing "artistic" in overusing autotune. It is just a tool to "mask" that that person can`t really sing at all and is overused in popular/commercial genres where there is an abundance of untalented musicians. I can`t imagine anyone saying that obvious autotuned songs sound good.
I don't understand this attitude at all. So something that doesn't seem artistic to you simply isn't artistic for anybody else because you decided that it isn't? Autotune is just another processing like reverb, delay, whatever. You think they didn't use any processing on Beatles' records? You think non-autotuned singers don't use a TC-helicon or whatever when they're performing live? Autotuned songs can sound good, j…
There's a difference between using it deliberately and using it because the singer can't sing.
I wonder if in 20 years time it will sound incredibly dated, much like 80s synths do today.
I'm not particularly against auto tune and ultimately most people don't even notice it being used, but I do sort of understand where the GP is coming from.
If your idol can't actually sing, and you saw them live and it's rubbish, wouldn't you feel cheated?

Are we really that far?
We ARE that far. Any deep fakes you see in the wild are the hobbyists applying the tech to the lowest common denominator. There are professional state sponsored groups creating serious fake video, easily manipulating presence of people at news worthy incidents.
Like those janky Bin Laden videos from a few years back?

#99I loved watching the movements in the "Detected Pose" corner. I felt like I could see the forms of the dance more clearly. I wonder if ML could learn aesthetically pleasing dance forms, then perhaps we could get some generative choreography!
Even capture of pose detection into written choreograph form, or else for iterative feedback while learning a variation, would be interesting.
Re: AI Can Transform Anyone Into a Professional Dancer
#100We should think of something like a blockchain to mark all this sh*t as fake though, because in five years time there will be no way to distinguish reality from invention and we will all be under constant blackmail from malicious agents and rogue governments showing up at our door with whatever made-up accusation they want.
How would blockchain solve the issue?
It lets you prove a file was not modified after a certain point in time. So if you have two similar videos that are both timestamped you can prove which one is the original.
This idea dates back to way before bitcoin.
