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...

Oh! There was a lovely photo of Biden and Obama in snappy bright pink suits on TV yesterday. Do you mean it was fake too? What about the one of Trump wearing bright orange, cleaning the prison floor? Surely that was real.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't joke but all the time there are people like Occupy The Web telling us that AI is a good thing, people are going to think it's a good thing. So long as we take apart everything we read to find the actual truth.

It hasn't changed that much.

@RosePuckey @Techaltar I suspect we are going to have to introduce deliberate spelling mistakes into our scripts to ensure that people realise it has been written by a human being and not a computer.

@peterbrown @Techaltar If only it was that simple. Even with perfect spelling, grammar and accurate, truthful content there are always the AI face swaps. Both of these took less than 90 seconds including having to watch the mind numbingly tedious adverts on the website, and taking a quick selfie. Fortunately its a face swap, my hair is a total mess at the moment.

@RosePuckey @Techaltar yes, there is a separate, and for well-known people much more serious, aspect in the field of imagery. I suspect only making a recognisable face automatically copyright of its owner, would even start to address this issue.

@peterbrown @Techaltar I very nearly made an AI image from your profile picture Peter. Just to show how easy it is to manipulate reality and how we really need to get away from this so called AI.

@RosePuckey @Techaltar I don’t think we’ll get completely away from it, but like a lot of new technology we will have to bring it under control. I have however believed for some time that we should have copyright of our own facial image, with or without AI.
Certainly, somebody can take my photograph in a public place, but if it is clearly identifiably me, I think it should be my copyright.
