Absolutely insane story of a Ukranian girl getting her face cloned & deepfaked into dozens of pro-Russian digital influencers on Chinese social media.

I fear this flood of AI shit is truly going to break the internet

Somebody Cloned Me in China...

@Techaltar Agreed. This will just result in no one trusting anything they see or read on the internet. Maybe print media will see a resurgence.

@sonicJazzMonkey @Techaltar if they print the deepfakes, it won't matter.

And to have printed media, you still need a decent backing to be able to produce it, and sell it even at the bare minimum profit.

@cyberrb25 @Techaltar Yep. Darn it. News is overrated anyway ..... 🙂

@sonicJazzMonkey @Techaltar actual news and news reporters are fine. The issue is those who aren't, or who mask themselves as them.

One hard debate that needs to happen is that states (IMO) should be responsible for giving news and information gathering and filtering, and how it clashes with society and authoritarian (or authoritarian-inspired) regimes using it to brainwash, or censor news for, their population.

@sonicJazzMonkey @Techaltar I might have miswritten it: Governments should be mandated to have their citizens educated (either by themselves or by private or community entities, but to as much population as possible) on news and information gathering, not actually offering the news to them.
