Very recently, thanks to a new type of AI, it’s gotten much easier to create convincingly realistic videos of people saying and doing things they’ve never said or done. Will fake videos undermine our shared sense of reality and lead to the death of truth?
AI Summary
# Summary
Josh and Chuck dive deep into the world of deepfakes—those disturbingly realistic AI-generated videos where people appear to say or do things they never actually did. They explore how this technology emerged in late 2017 when a Reddit user figured out how to swap celebrity faces onto adult films, and how it's evolved at breakneck speed into something that's now accessible to basically anyone with a computer. Beyond the obvious (and disturbing) non-consensual porn problem, the hosts discuss the serious threat deepfakes pose to society at large, from eroding trust in news and democracy to potentially triggering international incidents, while also diving into the technical details of how AI creates these fakes and what telltale signs might give them away.
