A video example of the process is at the link. It is no mere voice-replacement. The process is very sophisticated.

And it kind of makes you wonder. Scientists from a number of prestigious institutions are working on this. Why? How could this research possibly benefit society?

Their software can only cause trouble. So again, why?

It's like having a bunch of scientists hellbent on creating a GMO crop for the sole purpose of causing cancer.

Why are they researching it? Because someone is paying them to research it. It is great for psyops.

How is this a problem? The Brown Shirt Media has been doing this for decades!

It is abusive. Yet, it would be kinda cool to see a video of a wannabe caliphate imam telling his flock to kill each other.

Here is the problem, IMHO. It is imminently appropriate to “fool” Hitler with the “Patton Ghost Army” and a massive disinformation campaign to deter defense of the actual invasion. It is appropriate because Ike didn’t give a damn about what Adolph thought of his integrity, Ike’s plan was to ultimately kill Hitler so he didn’t particularly give a gd what Adolph thought of him.

To gaslight your own people repeatedly for decades will necessarily result in an inexorable nasty end but our CIA and FBI and DOJ don’t seem to get that. Ultimately “the people” they claim to be doing it for are simply not going to put up with it any longer. Destroying the city to save it may be fine in a foreign country but destroying the country we friggin’ LIVE in is gonna be a losing strategy in the end and IMHO the end is coming at us fast here.

I just found out they are using AI for much more than this.
Right now, they require people to scan the internet for key words and thought.
Now they are using computers to scan the internet and blocking sites which disagree with their message.

The failure rate is high right now but they are pouring millions into getting to work correctly.

All for the purpose of controlling the message.

I knew this would happen after that Star Trek episode with John Gil.

Grant money? If you ever think scientists really are workung on things that will benefit your family, remember Mengle. If you are associated with a group someone powerful hates... say Google’s clear hatred of Christians (funny how it isn’t other religions).. the scientists would just as soon use you for the collective good.

It’s just like any other tech. The problem is in how people use it, not the tech. There’s perfectly legitimate uses for it (it’s ultimate “we’ll fix it in post”, for film and TV making). Of course it will be used for other purposes, that’s people for you.

I remember when the movie "Contact" came out I thought about this.

They producers had taken some footage of ol'slick and edited them into the movie.

You could easily see where they'd done this.

I told my wife in the future it'd be possible to edit film to make it appear real.

Consider how much this generation relies upon social media for information. The selective editing of former presidential speeches, congressional testimony, etc, will present a new narrative of history.

The cat is out of the bag. Software is downloadable and with the right video card, you can make your own. This has been around for a long time. Remember the movie “Running Man”? The helicopter scene with Arnold... the ‘Butcher of Bakersfield”. Now is the time to look for business opportunities to verify or invalidate existing video files. Ground floor business opportunity!

This is basically newspeak gone graphic. They will be able to change speeches and correct errors that will help build a Tyrannical Utopia for All.
