This video was made using Google image technology. Just imagine the possibilities for abuse here. “Sir, we have video footage of you robbing a bank in Newark, NJ yesterday.” And this is perfectly legal, since noone actually owns the rights to their own images on social media.
Some deepfakes are actually quite good - sound is dubbed over perfectly and everything. I’ve even seen some that don’t have any lip blur. Can we post examples here?
The fake itself wasn’t the issue. The issue is that we don’t own the rights to our own images anymore thanks to social media and the fact that these fakes can be made with your images without your permission is what’s scary. Give it some time. These fakes will be better.
I’m not a celebrity and don’t have to worry about those sorts of things. If someone really wanted to Photoshop or deep fake my image onto something…have at it. I don’t care. Plus - if you’ve ever posted a family photo to Facebook, Instagram, Google+ then you’ve already given away rights to your likeness. That’s what happens when no one reads the fine print.
That really doesn’t look like Gal Gadot but either way I can see where it can be used on those that they want to place at the scene of a crime or video of O’Rourke doing meth.
