Comment on Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track

  I understand some of you AI evangelist types look down on us Luddites who dare to ask questions, but you seriously can’t see any potential issue with this technology without some sort of restrictions in place?

    This is unnecessarily aggressive, I don’t need this today.

      And your comment was unnecessarily patronizing. Do you think they needed that today?

        I saw what you wrote before your edits. I’m not going to engage with people who talk like that. Good day.

      That was one of the tamest comments I’ve seen on the internet. There wasn’t even remarks about your mom.

    None of those concerns are new in principle: AI is the current thing that makes people worry about corporate and government BS but corporate and government BS isn’t new.

    Then: The cat is out of the bag, you won’t be able to put it in again. If those things worry you the strategic move isn’t to hope that suddenly, out of pretty much nowhere, capitalism and authoritarianism will fall never to be seen again, but to a) try our best to get sensible regulations in place, the EU has done a good job IMO, and b) own the tech. As in: Develop and use tech and models that can be self-hosted, that enable people to have control over AI, instead of being beholden to what corporate or government actors deem we should be using. It’s FLOSS all over again.

    Or, to be an edgelord to some of the artists out there: If you don’t want your creative process to end up being dependent on Adobe’s AI stuff then help training models that aren’t owned by big CGI.

      I don’t think these people should be locked up or all AI usage banned. But there is definitely a middle ground between absolute prohibition and no restrictions at all.

      I have used AI tools as a shooter/editor for years.

  Honestly that’s a good rule of thumb for all headlines at this point.
