So the Corridor Crew (see Post #127) offer a demonstration of Deep Fake tech where they get Tom Cruise to come to their studio. Frankly, this is kinda scary. Fascinating, but scary.
They’re wrong that that there’s no Deep Fake for voices tho; we’ve covered several companies handling that earlier in the thread and things have only gotten better in the months since then. That link goes to a news article that has an embedded video with a CG voice that mimics Joe Rogan. Now, I don’t listen to him but I know he’s a sports comedy guy and I’m certain I’ve heard him before… and I can’t at all tell that this 100% computer generated voice isn’t a real person talking. I’d be really interested in having a Joe Rogan fan listen to it.
I think what’s really scary about this Deep Fake video is knowing that it was done on a machine that is affordable to many, many people AND that it took so little time to train the AI. IMO 2-3 days isn’t a lot of time. Imagine letting it train itself for 100 days with 10000x the reference images, and it seems to me that this kind of thing is going to quickly become indistinguishable from real recorded footage.
Oh, and now there’s AIs being trained to produce a controllable full-body image. In other words, they can now digitize a person and a joystick/controller can be used to manipulate the image in real time. The AI figures out how to get from one body pose to another realistically. So soon you won’t need a whole body suit to do animations. Hollywood can just have 2 people in comfortable studio gaming chairs make AI CGI Jackie Chan fight AI CGI Arnold Schwarzenegger as tho it were a video game and then edit all the really cool parts into a fight scene.
I’m now VERY sure that my lifetime is gonna include some VERY fucked up shit happening.
