Doom, gloom, big badaboom.
Okay, you all read about that. Someone creating fake news with deepfakes photos.
A rich bad actor (like a international gang, megacorp or foreign government) actually getting hands on technology for their own gains. In modern world, hyper information focused it is disastrous, right?

I already saw news around near me - someone already was scammed out a lot of cash because scambag trained AI to fake victim’s relative’s voice and called them through changed voice asking for help to get out of car accident pinch fast. I mean, I can’t blame grey-haired mom who was on her toes listening to ‘fake’ son who just ‘crashed into something’ and is about to get into jail straight into hospital, if she doesn’t swiftly lend him some $10000 or something like that.
It is already happening. First, it will be raw and faulty, but then they will become more and more cunning. The AI learns how to fake evidence, and the problem is kinda self-perpetuating.
No, AI itself will not make Terminator happen. But nasty humans totally will make some dystopia for sure.
Moderating:
I don’t know what the debate is here.
I’m closing this. If you want to move this to the Pit, feel free to message the request.
Reopening and moving to the BBQ Pit per discussion with OP
FYI-“Nitter” is an alternative “Twitter/X”.
I have to admit, I thought this was going to be about how AI is being used to make fake celebrity nudes.
I’m mildly (only mildly) curious about what the OP is on.
Since this thread is in The Pit, it is now okay for me to point out that this is a returning user with a different name. See this thread, where I mention his site feedback thread implying he is a returnee and his reply where he metions familiarity with the Giraffe Boards.
