I never said that! High-tech deception of 'deepfake' videos

WASHINGTON – New technology on the internet lets anyone make videos of real people appearing to say things they've never said.

Republicans and Democrats predict this high-tech way of putting words in someone's mouth will become the latest weapon in disinformation wars against the United States and other Western democracies.

This technology uses facial mapping and artificial intelligence to produce videos that appear so genuine it's hard to spot what is phony. Lawmakers and intelligence officials worry that the bogus videos — called deepfakes — could be used to threaten national security or interfere in elections, including the U.S. midterms this fall.

Realizing the implications, U.S. defense researchers are developing technologies that can detect fake images and videos. Right now, it takes extensive analysis to identify phony videos.

This is the predicted tilling of the ground to soften the impact of soon to be released crippling Clinton and Soetoro videos.

The regular media just uses real stuff out of context, or just makes the lies up from nothing.

It used to be, “Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.” Now? Zip. It’s all a pack of lies.

People say believe half of what you see
Son and none of what you hear
But I can’t help but be confused
If it’s true please tell me dear
Don’t you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine

Networks have been doing this for years. I randomly pulled up a youtube video of the 2016 debates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRlI2SQ0Ueg and randomly picked 24 minutes. It is so obvious that they digitally removed Hillary’s face and gave her a new younger one. Interestingly you can observe as she moves around their computerized face cannot always keep up and you suddenly see wrinkles appear and disappear especially around her neck. It is not “hard to detect”.

“they digitally removed Hillary’s face and gave her a new younger one”

You’re right. There were ‘patches’ where it appears they blurred or smoothed her skin — and it’s especially noticeable on her neck.
