  2. The media have been doing it for years with clever editing, only the mindless fall for it 10 minutes of research sorts the truth out

  3. No one is taking this seriously. If this developed further, how could you trust any video in the future? Tech like this is actually pretty dangerous.

  4. *Photoshop:* “Deepfake software will never be as convincing as I am.”
    *Deepfake Software:* “Hello, this is Photoshop, It saddens me greatly to announce my sudden resignation…”

  5. I hate the word AI. There’s nothing intelligent about it. It’s just algorithms. The only intelligence is human intelligence and until we understand how that works, we won’t be able to simulate it!

  6. Step 1: Coin the term “Deep Fake” and market to the masses
    Step 2: Incriminating video surfaces of powerful leader involved in criminal activity
    Step 3: Powerful Leader claims it is a “Deep Fake”
    Step 4: Powerful leader evades responsibility for the crime under the guise of it being a “Deep Fake”

  7. Why would a person create this. I don’t see any goods can come to this? I can only see criminal using this only.

  8. Congress is concerned with the potential political use of deepfakes? Who would have thought that? (sarcasm)
