All of the clips in this video are entirely fake and created by AI.
Very impressive, but also rather disturbing!

    Pete - I know the title sounds a bit pervy, but watch the Storyville prog on BBC about the porn - about how technology (not even sure if it's true AI yet) is being abused and ruining people's lives.

    Crikey!
    Some do look fake but a lot don't, especially the woman with the cat. Why would you want to fake that anyway?

    It's just to show one of the many things that are now possible with AI.
    Referring to the BBC documentary that Steve mentions above, shows just what devastating consequences there can be.
    AI has moved so fast that legislation has not yet caught up with it.
    The SORA app is not yet for public use.

    This all goes back to a question I posed ages back - what actually identifies a person? If fakes can be so realistic that they can deceive even family members, then what makes you 'you'?. BBC radio did a thing about faking voice as well - they convinced a mother she was talking to her son. This is not something of the future anymore. It is there and being used - and it is so available that minor actors are using the technology - this isn't big tech stuff.

    Fake in once sense, but built with all the internet imagery it has at its disposal - which is a vast amount. It's not making it up out of nothing - it's using what previous exists. It seems to me more like remodelling or sampling.

    Which is the same process used by humans when creating and writing TV programmes or writing books etc.
    But computers can complete that process in a few seconds.

    AI has only been around a short while and already its capabilities are yaw-dropping, what lies around the corner should be interesting to say the least.

    Yes, the game changer, is the speed of learning. And such a vast data set to pull from. It's all a massive unknown.
