The Dangers of Deepfakes

[@MercMarque]

There was this tragedy of a 14-15 year old girl who had this happen to her. Guys in her school spread deepfakes around of her, and she ended up unaliving herself because of it. What makes it even worse was there were people calling her weak and saying that it “wasn’t that serious”, and generally defending the boys who did it…

In New York violators face up to a year in jail for a violation with the legislation also granting victims a private right of action to sue in civil court. It's a start.

emily i just wanna say i LOVE how you manage to talk about these really serious topics while still making jokes about it. it makes it so much easier to watch and understand and i LOVE IT!!!!!

[@keyarrma]

i laughed PARTICULARLY at the last skit printing out the robot check was such a good bit

[@brennah2020]

I'm about to do a project on this subject for my criminal law class. One of my favorite actresses recently experienced this and the effect it had on her and the judgement she got was maddening. I'm hoping laws start to be made against it very soon and people learn not to automatically trust every photo or video they see on the internet.

[@zitto0]

nowadays it feels like AI should not be so easily accesible to the general public

[@MertaOdSimsow]

The scene with the mom is a masterpiece, thank you 😆 And thanks for the bangs, it inspired me to cut mine in a similar way, total glow up ✨

[@AutumnPinkyKat]

That last skit was my favorite I've seen on your channel, Emily. 😭

[@SweetieCreeper]

i totally agree that it's absolutely horrendous that people are using AI for such deplorable things. :( it's just baffling to me that the people using AI for these purposes don't have any empathy whatsoever or seem to even consider what it would be like if they had disgusting AI-generated images of them posted on the internet. like... genuinely, you made a really good point with the skit you did about that. it's truly horrible. T_T great video, luv your channel and good luck getting to 1M subs :D

[@bellapilla5000]

On the topic of ai- There is so much ai in schools, that it makes me scared for future generations of learners.

[@qckreplacementvideos7561]

12:43 Fun fact: 1-800-PAIN is also a musical artist :)

[@Elenalamp]

This is why I refuse to show my face anywhere online. Literally any creep can take my face and use it for something disgusting. And to know this could happen to any female creator at any time is sick.

[@emessar]

One of the other dangers that you touched on tangentially is how AI video and audio undermines all kinds of actual evidence that you would otherwise be able to point to and use for or against someone or something. It makes it easier to gaslight others and to discount evidence that contradicts your worldview.

[@bonbunz1987]

I’m scared cause uh….I have a friend that I know, and his brother claims to hear me voice all the time in his room… 💀💀💀 He claims it’s as if he’s talking to me… like what the fuck.

[@nemegto]

"Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words" ... a thousand words for the prompt to be generated.

[@Animationantique]

Yeah... as an artist, I dgaf about AI because it's just another challenge, but as a person it scares me because here in Spain they made AI nud*s in a high school of a young girl. THIS IS JUST TERRIBLE

[@zelietv]

yes! it's really good to see someone on youtube talking about this in a video i've been feeling like greek mythology cassandra for well over a year now whenever i brought these developing problems up in conversation or comments

[@catvalentine4317]

This is honestly one of the reasons why I got the hell out of engineering. We already had all the technology we need (maybe except medtech) by 2012, since then it's just gotten worse...

[@fizz_bizz]

That moment of laughing with your mom actually made me laugh with you. But anyway, I genuinely love watching your videos, they always bring up deep thoughts but also get me laughing. Hope you have a great day Emily

[@kaaiy]

I dont even read the titles anymore i just see Emily's face and click on the video

[@ghostinlovewithaflower]

There are so many people posting their underage kids online, and I will forever advocate that they take those contents down bc it’s so risky. I was shocked when New Jeans debuted and released songs like Cookie because Hybe was trying to normalize it in the name of young talent, and everyone fell for it. I’m 100% convinced there are deepfakes of those idols somewhere, and I bet other idols get victimized the same way but it’s especially concerning with more minors debuting. It’s SO FUCKED UP. We need strict UNIVERSAL laws on deepfakes because how is that not a huge crime???

[@watermelontourmaline45]

I don’t usually comment on youtube but I really love your content! It’s very entertaining even if the topics are sometimes a bit grim like this one. You still made it enjoyable with THE POWER OF THE SKITS!!! As a theater queen I appreciate the effort you put into them every time :3 and the fringe looks goooood!!!

[@zzzxeee-]

i laughed, i like you, and i want good things to happen to you . okay lmaoo in all seriousness i was cracking up over the ‘select all the images with fire hydrants’ 😭 but ai is getting absolutely terrifying, i can’t even think of a reason why someone would use a deepfake for good, like what was the point of them being made? really unfortunate that technological advancements are rarely even good anymore

[@StayArtsy]

My dad literally sat my sisters and I down to talk about this and how to protect ourselves from these AI deepfakes. I am literally terrified of posting pictures (or youtube videos) of my self because of those perverts. We literally need porn to be banned, it is just hurting and objectifying women and girls.

[@ladyannetheefinesmaiden]

real! i hate how normalised it is!

[@StayArtsy]

@@ladyannetheefinesmaiden fr fr

[@mwagaha3343]

Porn as a whole? I get some of it's exploitative but more OF style stuff where it's self produced is fine w me

[@AutumnPinkyKat]

How do you not have 1mil subscribers yet? Where are they?? I've been watching your videos for god knows how long. Come on, KZbin, priorities!

[@VioletKitUWU]

“Thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind” I thought we wouldn’t need dune quotes to guide morals nowadays

[@Bebo-nu4bn]

THE QUEEN IS BACK

[@siddhidesai2082]

This actually happened to me. Someone took my picture and used AI to remove all the clothing and posted it on Instagram

[@catlvr_sk]

where you talked about how these ai photos are affecting people irl even if they're "fake" my old teacher had this happen to her and she literally stopped working for 3 whole weeks and all her kids too stopped coming to school. So whenever i see people say smth like "It's just fake" it's really annoying since i know someone who it has affected and affected them bad. (in case anyone is wondering she is doing a lot better now and has started working again!)

[@William-Afton_jejcjschheiqx]

I don’t think a not even Emily video has scared me this much 💀💀💀

[@cynblack]

I laughed a lot at the animal commercial skit ending xD that lone delivery of wtf was hilarious xD

[@gloriousgal9958]

"Negative Rabbit legalized gay marriage on Mars!" Lol what

[@KrumpOcake]

I love all the bloopers at the end. It’s a little treat for watching the entire vid

[@themagicalpeacocksedits8490]

That's so depressing, but that was a really great video- and yeah, cool hairstyle 💜

[@ArAsDeCos]

"This has been happening forever, photoshop exists, cutting out magazines exist" etc. MAKING A BAD THING MORE ACCESSIBLE IS NOT A GOOD THING.

[@grumbledingle]

Every time Amanda's in a skit I imagine it's just a continuation of her life experience for the past six years.

[@fu9199]

Thanks for bringing attention to this topic. More people need to be talking about it.

[@PataPtichou]

The "it's not even real" argument isn't even accurate. AI feeds on real pictures, real videos, real audios of real people and create a modification. There are as real as a picture with a filter on it, or any other modification. That's like looking at someone's wedding photo and say "yeah nothing of this is real" because the pictures have been retouched

[@JarodDavis-ro3fb]

These skits and jokes always make me cry laughing. Long Live Emily.

[@samisbasement]

i laughed during this video and i hope good things happen to you and the bangs look great

[@hannah-mv3nd]

my grandparents were actually called with an ai voiceover of one of my cousins asking for them to send money for bail and to not tell his parents about it. some of my friends have also been sent dms on insta with hackers on the pages of people they know asking for their venmos so they can send them money and stuff its crazy.

[@TheCrogun]

These deep fakes get even scarier when you remember how many parents post their children on the Internet 🙃

[@luckless9487]

Hey! I’m in the Caribbean watching a beautiful sunset by the beach right now! Maybe everything IS gonna be okay

[@SisterMisery]

Yes babe! The bangs are back 😊 I laughed and I like you and want good things to happen to you.

[@veronicacastrio6139]

I looked out my window when Emily made the comment about seeing a beautiful sunset and there was the most beautiful sunset outside :) so thank you Emily!

[@Rochelle_Ballah]

The end is so cute with the bloopers. Love the last one where she hits you “hard” with the plushie and then you both laugh 😂❤️

[@AriaAsacura]

THE MOM ON THE PHONE BIT WAS TOO REAL

[@user-mh7db7ei1s]

I just don't understand why legislators are dragging their feet on addressing this. This is disgusting. Yet they have been quick to try to push a TikTok ban. Make it make sense

[@AnshLuvsCash]

What splendid humor! I did have a chuckle!
