  Plot twist: the ad is the real Tom Hanks, and the version calling it fake is an AI created by a rival dental plan.

  I think this type unauthorized use of somebody’s likeness is going to define the next wave of AI image and video generation. Sadly a lot of people will fall for it because they don’t know how good it is.

  There was that teenager in Spain who was arrested for making nude AI models of his female classmates. I’ve had friends match with people on Tinder who then later send nude pics of them - AI generated - along with a demand for money or they will misuse it. It’s going to get a whole lot worse before the public is educated about this.

  But that’s just the nasty small scale stuff. We’re going to see celebrities and public perspnas in all kinds of questionable roles, appearing so authentic that average people won’t notice it’s deepfaked. Great.

  It’s going to be a scammers wet dream for a while.

    Until legislators get caught up with it. Which they will because this is already being used for political misinformation and fucking up with very rich people’s wallets. The only solution is to go full Butlerian Jihad on it and forbid ML image generation and LLMs altogether. Before that, more than one authoritarian government will use it to manipulate the masses.

      Well, it’s open source… so that cat is not going back in the bag so to speak. Some technophobe countries will try to set up a bunch of laws but outside their borders the craziness will persist. I think the only way past this is to go straight through. We’re going to see a lot of people manipulated.

  You guys are laughing right now, but as the only real celebrity on Lemmy, identity theft is not a joke! Millions of celebrities would suffer every year!

  Imagine what would happen if some random Internet weirdo uses AI to impersonate me, super serious Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie, and make me say extremely silly things that I would never say in public on the internet? Would you still think impersonating a celebrity is funny?

  • AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Luckily for her, Margot Robbie has been blessed by a relatively harmless and actually kinda based Lemmy impersonater.

    Or it’s actually her and no one can be sure. I still want to believe.

      I’ve never seen anyone trying to impersonate me on Lemmy, but if you ever see them, could you tell them to promote my latest movie, now also available on streaming, since I’m still on strike?

      Very slight off vocal inflections that you subconsciously know aren’t him because you’ve seen the real him act in so many movies.

      Plus, you knew it was a fake when you clicked it. If you hadn’t then chances are it would seem like a regular ad you’re trying to skip.

  • MargotRobbie@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Because as we all know, A-list celebrities are all too smart and have too much integrity to promote random product for money!

    So,just like the real Tom Hanks would never promote dental plans, if you ever see famous celebrities like Matt Damon or Kim Kardashian promote dumb things like cryptocurrency, remember, these are not real people, they are all advertisments made by AI impersonators!

  The whole doom of AI has definitely gone in a different direction than I expected. I mean, maybe this is just the first act, you know, maybe they’ll still work up to replacing and killing off human kind, but trying to pretend to be the popular kids and entertain us, wasn’t on my AI apocalyptic bingo card.

  source

  • XEAL@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    AI is a too widely used term.

    It’s not the same a self-aware AI entity than a dumb AI assited tool.

    It’s the same with the joke that AI’s are taking the jobs that we want to do instead of the ones that nobody wants. JFC, there is no humanoid robot replacing manual labor, just trained AI software/tools/APIs that run on computers and perform some specific and somewhat complex tasks.

      Thanks man, that’s a real kindness, belaying my worries. Just to relieve your stress, I wasn’t being serious. I just find it funny in a dark humour, but the good kind, kinda way. You’re good people.
