Someone used an algorithm to paste the face of 'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot onto a porn video, and the implications are terrifying.

There's a video of Gal Gadot having sex with her stepbrother on the internet. But it's not really Gadot's body, and it's barely her own face. It's an approximation, face-swapped to look like she's performing in an existing incest-themed porn video.

[...] Like the Adobe tool that can make people say anything, and the Face2Face algorithm that can swap a recorded video with real-time face tracking, this new type of fake porn shows that we're on the verge of living in a world where it's trivially easy to fabricate believable videos of people doing and saying things they never did. Even having sex.

[...] The ease with which someone could do this is frightening. Aside from the technical challenge, all someone would need is enough images of your face, and many of us are already creating sprawling databases of our own faces: People around the world uploaded 24 billion selfies to Google Photos in 2015-2016.

    "no physical harm that takes place when photons hit a person's retina in any given pattern"

    That's the viewer's own problem, unless they are literally forced to view the images.

    Ala Clockwork Orange...

    This mostly works because people have been taught to hate and fear the very idea of certain things.

    While advertising, marketing, etc. all try to reprogram people every day all day long, they have more of an influencing effect than a controlling one.

    What needs to be preserved is the freedom of choice not to look - something that's missing in airport lounges where one is forced to listen to CNN for hours on end.
