Man-made horrors beyond comprehension: AI-generated videos of deceased loved ones

My biggest fear is using deepfske, ai voice technology and spoofing calls to trick your kids to go somewhere and them getting kidnapped or abused.
I am literally thinking about making a secret code for them to ask if they are really talking to us...
Agreed, things like those are the real concern. This A.I stuff will lead to something far worse than just some killer robot/movies with evil A.I because everyone knows those are evil while most people would actually want A.I in our reality.

A.I by itself if used without evil intent isn't bad of course like putting in smart computer bots in games, making a movie in some old school style etc. But unfortunately evil exists and are in power within this world so A.I won't just be used for that. It'll be used for deep fakes, blackmailing, framing people and other sinister things. Want to expose some evil within corportation/government etc than they can easily just use deepfakes and other A,I related stuff to frame you and get the media and world against you.

In the past channels that expose stuff will just be censored or removed from youtube while in the future people that exposes evil will get framed. Good people already get framed or falsely accused way before but it'll be way easier with A.I faking stuff and fooling the masses. The deepfakes we see are just public stuff, the actual stuff they got in more advance than whatever deepfakes we seen in youtube/public.
 
Photos and videos arent real either. At least we aren't propping up children's corpses with eyes painted on their eyelids for a family photo anymore.
???

They are quite literally records of moments that actually happened.
I kind of agree with him that it's not necessarily that much more artificial (though it probably is in most cases in practice here).

Photos are artificial versus memories anyway; they don't capture the scene the way you saw it and remember it, but a flattened version that is very different, even geometrically so when you consider the way focal length etc reshapes the world (check out photos of same people's faces at different shot distance / focal length and it's really fascinating, they look totally different).

Most of the videos, yeah they're taking it too far and moving the person around in various ways. But let's say I have a few photos of my kid's 5th birthday and I put them all into the model and have it let me move the camera freely around the fully imagined scene built from those images... that's actually not categorically that much more fictive than the distortion the photos give you versus your memories.
 
I remember having a thought of 'what if' when my old man died, before all this took off with A.I, what if there was a way to do this very thing, would I? Would it be right? It would be nice to hear him again speak new words :unsure:

Well, no, it's not them is it..

A couple of months back my wife's favourite cat died, she was besotted with him (He was a great old boy), last weekend we talked about him, I asked 'If you could clone him, would you do it'? No, she said, it wouldn't be him. His lived life made him, the clone wouldn't have lived the same life..

Which is true.

I think what we're seeing with all this is people not being able to let go of things like we've had to through millenia. The type of things that made you hardy, facts you just have to deal with, hard truths

The pain and upset of such things are being offloaded onto untruths. A fake reality

The really weird thing about all this, when you think about it, does it have the endgame power to subjugate the fear of death itself?

If the technology gets so good that you personally knew there would be a continuous A.I version of your very being, would anyone be as scared of dying? :unsure:

Or.. is this just an infantile childlike thinking that we can bring back those who don't exist for our own morbid lack of not letting go..

Strange times indeed.

Some people will see AI as a way to live on. Encode your personality, memories, facial expressions...

This gen isnt ready for the scale of change coming

That's a really good idea, imo.

Which begs the question..

Would you want it for yourself? :unsure:

With everything I've seen, and realising that five seconds after you're dead no one gives a shit, I say..

Make me personally A.I!

Infact, I'll write in my will I want a lifetime sub of Gaf Gold, and will post forever!!

Ive changed my mind. AI is an abomination.
 
Maybe it's just me being a bit pessimistic, but seeing this kind of things made life less valuable and easy to imitate or supersede.

Just like in Blade Runner 2049, K sees Rachel and know it's not her cause of eyes, but if it was her same eyes, which would be the difference between the passed one and the new one? The birth date? The personality if is not the same?

Too many ethics.
