AI-Assisted Fake Porn Is Here and We're All Screwed (vice.com)
New submitter samleecole shares a report from Motherboard: 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. The video was created with a machine learning algorithm, using easily accessible materials and open-source code that anyone with a working knowledge of deep learning algorithms could put together. It's not going to fool anyone who looks closely. Sometimes the face doesn't track correctly and there's an uncanny valley effect at play, but at a glance it seems believable. It's especially striking considering that it's allegedly the work of one person -- a Redditor who goes by the name 'deepfakes' -- not a big special effects studio that can digitally recreate a young Princess Leia in Rouge One using CGI. Instead, deepfakes uses open-source machine learning tools like TensorFlow, which Google makes freely available to researchers, graduate students, and anyone with an interest in machine learning. Anyone could do it, and that should make everyone nervous.
Soon we will not be able to determine real from fake. Nothing can be proven real. We will have to suspect everything.
I would not be surprised to soon see the spelling of Rogue changed in American English to Rouge.
Let people act out their fantasies in VR rather than have them do it in real life. If it doesn't hurt anyone, then why is it anyone's business?
The real threat will be fabricated "video surveillance" footage and other "proof" used to "prove" or "disprove" anything the editor wants. What do you believe when everything you see can plausibly be called "fake news"?
OMG I see this too much.
Last time I checked, the french title wasn't "Red Un".

...rogue is a scoundrel.
Imagine if the day comes when you can insta-generate porn featuring a hotter version of yourself fucking your favorite pornstar.

machine learning is for porn
Pictures or it didn't happen... oh wait.
What about the italians? Who doesn't like spaghetti?
Videos are like assholes, everyone has one. Also, in the future nobody can buy graphics cards for gaming as all will be sold for mining and faking videos.
I've been noticing this weird as hell incest porn overtaking the "most popular videos" sections on major porn sites as of late.
All of these are entirely fake. There's no real step-siblings or mom/stepson actually videotaping this crap. It's all actors talking bullshit or just a couple just lying for click bait.
This sucks because incest (even if it's fake shit) is a massive turn off. It's becoming a huge nightmare to find good milf/cougar porn because all of the actresses have migrated into this fake incest crap.
So you said this "porn" existed on some fake site? Like which site? I mean their are so many sites, like which one specifically?
So Terminator got it wrong. It's through AI porn.
I've seen several interviews of Gal Gadot; she seems like a genuinely nice young woman, no guile or fakeness about her. Why does anyone have to do sick shit like this? Are they actual sociopaths or something?
I see that in the future, there will have to be legal precedent stating that people's likenesses are their property in perpetuity, with stiff penalties for someone using it without express written permission.
This article seems to imply that there are people who are surprised by this. People actually didn't see this coming years ago?
Slashdot has stooped to this? For shame.
The Virtual Actors Guild. Your characters need to bw fully registered and licensed and of corse you need to have your union dues fully paid.
Because once porn has pioneered this technology, real actors are going to quickly be in muchj lower demand.
Because the sick twisted fucks aren't doing it in VR; they're doing it using time machines. When they come back, they tell us "Rouge One" is the name of a movie where they're from, but in our universe it's "Rogue One." Don't you see? Someone went back in time and stepped on a butterfly.
If they'd stick to fucking Tyrannosaurus Rexen in VR, we wouldn't be having this problem, but they're messing with history and it's just a matter of time until someone kills Hitler and then we won't have a space program. "Doesn't hurt anyone" my ass.
Is that the red-light version of Rogue One?
I see the editors have been cursed by the Rouge Angles of Satin!
I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
Hey, somebody forget the source link. ;)
... and that should make everyone nervous.
Nervous is OK as long as it also makes people horny.
That's the point of porn.
As for "fake," it doesn't matter as long as it's satisfying. There are lots of role-playing sites.
And as for "fake," as in "fabricated evidence," detecting "fake." is within the scope of digital forensics.
Let's file this with Hawking's AI phobia, alright?
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
Long before AI was ever an idea in someone's mind, Edgar Allen Poe wrote : Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. This idea is even more applicable to this fake porn. Who the heck is going to believe it if it even YOU! Just blame it on the AI (or the dog).https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/252780-believe-nothing-you-hear-and-only-one-half-that-you
Now once someone produces a tape of Donald Trump have sex with Russian prostitutes while married, he'll be able to claim that deepfakes created it and is innocent of everything. This will be the greatest tool for people weaseling out of video evidence.
I hate them all. And I hate Mexicans. And Catholics and Mormons. I'm European. I hate anybody who isn't ANGLO SAXON.
So put on VR goggles and make them all look like Anglo-Saxons. I'd prefer a deferential Oriental personality with a Black Super-size-BBW look put on it, and I'm Anglo-Saxon; does that mean I'm strange?
Good! It'll probably be the first time for a lot of you.
Be careful with your replies. My son reads slashdot and posts here.
It's about time we stopped judging a picture by its pixels alone.
We already have the situation in art and archaeology that nothing is considered real without provenance. Perhaps provenance will become easier to fake. Never fear, for this problem, there's always the blockchain.
The far more interesting aspect of this is the impact on trafficking in child pornography.
What are we going to do? How does one legally demonstrate the apparent age of a digital model? Connect a jury of thirteen convicted paedophiles to brain-scan augmented plethysmographs? (Could be a messy conviction.)
If the model renders in real time, there could be user-adjustable dials (think the original Terminator). Does the generated image self-destruct if the user adjusts the dials to a combined setting of less than 20 mR?
[*] mR = milli-Rabbits; see Helen
People used to believe photographic evidence (which came to existfairly recently). Then came Photoshop; someone with enough patience is now capable of faking one single frame very convincingly. Photos are no longer believed; world yet to end.
People have a habit of believing video evidence (which came to exist even more recently). Then came AI; someone with enough patience will soon be capable of faking a clip very convincingly. Videos will no longer be believed; world is expected to survive.
I can assure you, the best way to get rid of dragons is to have one of your own.
A link to the video in question really would be helpful
I'm surprise the first thing they modeled wasn't that.
Hmmmm.....some people might be looking forward to that!
Finally, Kirk/Spok can be televised! Beam me up, Scotty!
I hear it is for ...deep... learning.
Get lost russki
Mr. Franken is fucking jewish you Trumptardian buffoon.
THIS sounds exactly like Ajit Pai's arguments about net neutrality to me...
In this case it's still real porn, just with modifications, but if we do get fully virtual and convincing porn, isn't that better than having a porn industry with real people?
Soon we ll see 3po having anal sex with r2d2
"machine learning" is already so overused that it is essentially meaningless. Translation here: they used a computer program

Yes.
What was once true, is no longer so

It's so sad to hear that you are such a pathetic excuse for a human being, not worth the skin you're made of. I feel bad for you.
not the technology, the technology is great - I really want to see the video at some point to see how accurate it looks - what terrifies me is that whether this technology is used nefariously or not people are stupid enough - likely the same people that think you can be spied on through your microwave and that chemtrails are mind controlling us will start to point to everything as a fake.
Just insert the doctored video into the queue that it got told contained only good videos.
"Oh no, baby. That isn't me! It's a fake!" will be the mantra of x-porn stars everywhere.

I am a Ninja Zombie Pirate. I investigate the suffering of sentient beings.
no, but 99% sure you aren't Anglo-Saxon (ps the Angles and the Saxons were racially the same thing anyway)
It's not really that great at this point. Here is a link to the deepfakes submitted posts on reddit.
