Imagine the potential for blackmail :/

[@Dylan-hy2zj]

OsaZain if anything the reverse is true, any video posted of you doing bad things you can just say it was deep fake blackmail

[@madman2u]

+Dylan Adams *Except* for the fact that it won't matter. Anything remotely real looking is going to work against your interests. It wouldn't matter if it's a fake because people will still believe you did or say X. People's reputation and life has been ruined for less and without evidence. Say someone accuses X or being a liar and a cheat. X says the video is a deep fake. The accusation while not necessarily true conflicts with X's statement. You can either take the video as evidence or the persons word who has a vested interest and therefore lies to protect themselves. It's a lose-lose scenario for the accused. It's just a matter of how much you'll lose. Even if the video is then proven to be fake the damage would've already been done. Unfortunately, bad news are so much easier to believe. It's not ideal at all... What we can do to combat this is to be more wary of the so called evidence people come up with. Being objective is important and if there is any doubt then one should always err on the side of innocence rather than guilt.

[@OsaZain]

madman2u People tend to believe maligning things much much more easily than the positive ones as well :(

yea the potential for blackmailing is going down to 0% because of this technologie. you cant use videos for evidence anymore. everything you see on a screen could be faked

Galileo was completely insane for stating the earth is round at the time, and any person with "common sense" would say not to do it, because he'd be killed by the church and because the Bible already says its flat. Technology both helps and punishes humans, often in unexpected ways, Alfred nobel wanted to help miners with dynamite, he created a weapon of mass murder by accident. Common sense is neither universal nor definite, its rather technology and social changes that twists whats considered "common sense"

Ever since I became aware of this technology,I got a really uncomfortable feeling about it. I knew it could be one of those technological 'superpowers' that wouldn't be safe if there was not a clear and adequate way to penalize the ways and how it could be used. It is in a way an ability to pirate & clone some forms of reality. Although there still seems to be some perceivable characteristics during the beginning stages of it's development that may be obvious to many and not just those with a 'trained eye',who knows at what point that it's going to be capable to make it indistinguishable to most if not all viewers of it? Do they 'have to' disclose this information? Who knows if some of the examples of those flaws that are more readily obvious to be fake aren't just being used to to distract the viewers from the more capable versions of this technology already? Great,..now I sound like a crazy person even to myself!🤦‍♂️
