Well, this certainly isn't creepy as all hell.
It was one thing for people to toss a persons face onto another persons body. But this is taking it to a whole new level, and quite honestly I think the government REALLY needs to step up to the plate and deal with this before it gets out of hand.
I get that this version produces low resolution images that will be easy enough to debunk, but thats not really the point. We are now entering territory where anyone can simply grab a picture online and turn it into a realistic nude. Sure, people have been doing this for quite some time when it comes to celebrities, but imagine your average person having a picture saved from facebook, instagram, or twitter and having this done to them. Give it a few more months or years, and it's going to be capable to producing images that aren't obviously fake.
What really bothers me is that people aren't up in arms about this kind of technology. Every time that someone creates a new or better version of deepfaking, it barely even registers on the news. There needs to be pressure on government officials to put the kibosh on things like this, or even severe limitations, even if it may be to late now. I'm normally not one to be all for the government squashing innovation in technology, but something like this I think is starting to cross lines that aren't okay with me.
And this is the rub, as it actually does seem that deepfaking is both legal and illegal in several ways. So it needs to be straightened out in the legal system before anyone can even begin fighting it.
So what say you?
