AI-Assisted Fake Porn Is Here

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.

    Nothing really new here, people also believe what they read, or are told...

    If you have to believe something (ie can't avoid the issue), what happens when multiple alt-realities are presented to your attention?

      Well, it's funny, but we're getting back to a place where human witnesses might start carrying more weight again.

      There will be a certain amount of "digital evidence veracity" weighting, but with digital it can always be forged perfectly, so again it comes down to whether or not you trust the humans who vouch for the digital evidence.

        Easier to threaten a witness with perjury charges than an unknown VR-artist, isn't it?
