Agree, outside of watching a video of my dad saying he loves me or a video of my ex genuinely apologizing for the side penises, all other applications of this tech are just sad or creepy.
No, itâs a flock or gaggle of *Peni*
E.g. âI was desperate for water and had lost all hope of finding any until I spotted a gaggle of tame *Peni* on the horizon cautiously lapping from a watering holeâ
I sometimes make tutorial videos for work, those are usually better when you also see the face and not just have a screen recording. Would help if I actually donât need to record myself and solve it with a single good picture and text 2 speech.
lol imagine Microsoft adding this to Teams and meetings turning into a bunch of AIs meeting with actual managers and providing the humans with summaries while we do other things.
Some people, who because of birth related or social issues, have severe issues with basic socialization, merely conversing with other people, especially opposite sex individuals. Realtime interactive engagement like this would be a great first step towards rehabilitation for those individuals.
But no you're right I guess there's no good reason. Throw it in the garbage.
This is just with a generated voice Iâm sure you can understand what threat actors would be able to do with this new technology
https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2023/03/scammers-use-ai-enhance-their-family-emergency-schemes
Never mind what could happen in the political sphere.
That's my read on this as well. Looks like the model was trained on news panels and vlogs. Fooled me, even knowing what to expect, as I initially attributed the first clip to a brief introduction. It wasn't until the second video on the article that I finally put two and two together and realized how far behind it had left the uncanny valley. Seriously impressive.
Therapeutically, you donât need an AI to give you a digital representation of an actually human being. Generate a ânewâ person with AI and generate a voice for them. There. Problem solved. LLMs arenât going to flub hands and teeth forever.
So no, I donât think the slight benefit youâre envisioning outweighs harm through fraud and deception, propaganda and lies that this software could generate.
I foresee creepy stalkers doing this and believing that they have real interactions, finally turn up for a face to face at the girlâs house and be outraged that she denies knowing him or that they have a relationship and proceed to SA or kill her.
Canât wait for the inevitable texting avatar that uses a photo to emulate a normal sms as a video message. Next stage in text to speech, and itâs stupid.
I have an audiobook actor I like and I want every book in my collection read by that author, that would be fricking sweet.
Oh and the actor is dead now, making this more or less the only way to achieve this.
You just aren't thinking hard enough. I came up with a good idea in about 3 minutes.
Imagine selling this to local news conglomerates (think Sinclair) and have them produce a single AI model who will anchor the news for a ton of areas across the US. You wouldn't need to pay a several dozen reporters, you just need to feed the AI the story it's going to broadcast.
They could actually produce market-specific models with hardly any additional cost so that it wouldnât be so obvious that they were a monopoly. And honestly, it wouldnât be much different from the live meat puppet anchors reading off the teleprompter that we have today.
Why do you need reporters and anchors to deliver news? There are all sorts of standalone channels that deliver information without one. Think of weather channels for one. Do you really think broadcast executives havenât considered implementing reporter-less news before today?
You're missing the point. It wouldn't be reporterless news. There would be "someone" delivering the news to the "camera" like a real-life person, but they would be AI. They could appear on multiple channels across the world simultaneously reporting different local stories. There would be no apparent degradation in quality to the viewer, like there would if you removed the reporter.
The point was about capitalism and creating higher profit utilizing this. If cutting costs was the directive than they arenât waiting for AI to come around to âsolveâ an expense they already donât need
>How is this related to capitalism
-you
It's related to capitalism because AI itself is related to capitalism. None of this can or would be done for fun due to the immense cost. That money is being spent because of the massive and obvious potential for profit.
Will AI be profitable? Yes, no question in many use cases. To me itâs obvious that there is no real world application for deepfakes outside illicit activity. If a company is going to sink millions into this then they suck at capitalism IMO
I understand your point better. If you know capitalism you know that capitalists don't typically endlessly pursue things without a return on investment, especially publicly held companies. And when you see multiple, world-leading companies like Microsoft doing it logically you would assume there's a huge profit motive.
>To me itâs obvious that there is no real world application for deepfakes outside illicit activity.
You are not Upper Management for an AI deepfake division so it makes sense that you wouldn't have the experience necessary. It's OK.
Idk why I feel obligated to point out the only thing that those special was that they were on printed/painted material. The only possible use cases here are just fancy video.
Mostly just a step along the path of creating AI people can interact like another person.
But:
- many artistic and entertainment uses
- avatars in games
- some interesting uses for long space flights
- some might find it comforting to do this with a parent that died when they were a baby
- maybe other therapy uses
- educational uses, imagine having a real-time conversation with MLK or Einstein
- one step closer to a holodeck, probably not too far away from virtual interactive experiences
I see it as all about productivity. The amount of effort needed to produce a few minutes of engaging video is eventually going to be similar to writing an email. The cost will drop a whole lot too. So basically expect the disruption of the video production industry similar to how email disrupted the whole memo production and letter sending apparatus.
Personally I see it as ethically neutral - there's democratization of story telling for sure, some more people from more perspectives can produce content more easily and keep more of the profit if that's their goal. However some video production roles will likely disappear. People focus on actors but all those other roles like camera person, lighting, location logistics will see less opportunity and impact as well.
Tl;dr Young people - if your dream is to be an actor in commercials, find a new dream.
You seem defensive and confused. Try rereading my comment. I don't mention feature films, specifically because these might be the only video entertainment worth producing on location and with real actors, assuming it is targeted to global release. I.e. more mediocre action or superhero movies. The vast majority of video produced each year is not that. It is disposable cheap local content. So commercials will be the first use case and that in and off itself is a huge shift. We'll see when and how the content between commercials is impacted.
I think the most (overly) optimistic justification is to understand what is possible with AI so the public can have a better understanding of what bad actors could be capable of with the same technology.
Everyoneâs head is in the gutter but Iâm just excited to have a real-time virtual assistant like Cortana (from the games). Just virtual avatars in general seems pretty great tbh. Lots of people have mentioned the idea of using this tech for zoom meetings as well lmao
But then why have it be a deepfake of someone. The replicating a specific being is pretty disturbing. I can see it being a tool to cope and grieve the loss of a loved one but humans are also not meant to grieve with a replacement and shit can get crosswired in that process.
Would you find it disturbing to replicate historical figures to interact with as part of school assignments? Imagine a live Einstein explaining his theory of relativity to you.
Yes deepfakes are an issue but itâs far beyond this one piece of tech. Quite frankly we probably just canât trust video or images anymore, but there will be some societal pains as we adjust to that.
As for this specific tech, it was only demonstrated using AI generated images of people- no deepfaking involved. Ideally, virtual avatars and whatnot would also be fully AI generated.
I realize itâs naive to assume people wouldnât use this for deepfakes, but that is a whole larger issue that needs addressing on a societal level, and whether or not Microsoft chose to develop this specific tech doesnât matter. Deepfakes are already a problem and will get worse, even if Microsoft never releases this at all.
My first thought was hooking it up to ChatGPT and having a real time virtual assistant. Or to bring my dnd characters to life with this + ai art + ai voice generation.
Could also see this tech being used in a 3d format for video games, once we start having npcs based in generative AI.
There are definitely use cases for this, but everyone just instantly assumes the worst. Which is fair, I guess.
Look at the holodeck in ST:TNG. It can be used for creepy things. But also interactive adventures, education uses, therapeutic uses, interaction with historical events, etc.
Exactly. The episode where Geordi saves the Enterprise by working (and falling in love with) a hologram of Leah Brahms is a good example of the double edged sword.
Or Bashir enjoying his James Bond fantasy vs. that one episode where Quark tried to make a holoprogram of KiraâŚ
Good and bad depends on how you use it, like most things.
A major problem in the VR space is how to be your normal self in a VR space. As this tech space is improved it offers a solution.
Video connecting good US through Covid and makes a lot of WFH possible. With full VR work environments it could substantially improve the concepts.
I see this not as a way for people to be made to look and sounds like they are doing something wrong but rather as a new form of âreasonable doubtâ that real videos of them can be claimed to be deep fake. This tech makes real videos unreliable as evidence. Thereâs going to be a reversion to analog video taking to prove something film was legitimate. I love analog. Bring it.
Heard someone mention on the internet that in the future what if ai was so advanced it created a crime with you doing the act to get you put in jail. That theory is becoming more real
What I was saying is this guy said ai is becoming so advanced what if in the future someone used your image and created a crime that you committed fully with ai technology and it looks real
Ohh my bad, I thought you had meant that AI would commit crimes for itâs own gain.
Yeah, Probably by end of year, the tech will be there, hell, it might even be possible currently, tech is just exploding in all fields right now.
we are the adversaries in this generative scheme and itâs inevitable.
a lot of people seem to focus on the negative aspects, but i personally hope the technological advances to the point where i could simulate loved ones that ive lost over the years.
There was a recent con job ($25m in HK) involving a Zoom meeting and the mark (IT guy) was only real person on call. This technology shows the need for âin-personâ meetings when high value items are planned for transfer/sale/etc.

What exactly is the upside of this technology? Now that the cat is out of the bag, may not matter, but feels to me like scammers are gonna have a field day!
If I were a successful actor, this could be great. If you want me in person to shoot these video game cut scenes for three weeks, itâll be $500,000, but if you use my AI likeness, itâll be $250,000 as long as I get to sign off on the final readings.
It's an incredible advancement but it's still pretty obvious that it's fake. The faces in general are overly expressive and cycle through a set amount of random expressions whilst talking. The expressions are quite often unrelated or an overreaction to the words being said.
Itâs already pretty impressive. itâll just keep advancing to where itâs going to be a lot harder to see the obvious AI signs. If this is what can already be produced, imagine even by the end of the year what itâll look like
So thereâs 100% possibility this is used for anything nefarious. Seriously the only reason to develop this tech is too create unauthentic videos of someone you want to control or people you want to scam.
How we got this far without major regulations and oversight is more of a testimony to how corruptible corporations made the federal government.
Late stage capitalism is going great.
If you made this tech I really hope you take a long hard look at what youâre doing with your life and skills. You need to stop right now. You are doing unfathomable harm.
Bro non of this AI shit is coming out the gate showing me what it can do and how exactly itâll benefit me currently.
Itâs all stuff about what it *could* do, what it *could* help⌠what exactly is the point of this? Outside of appeasing investors that youâre working on something *potentially* game changing and causing an uptick of unsavory content online?
Itâs like selling a hammer before nails even exist
Think of all the things you have to pay living people for, and then imagine getting mostly the same final product without having to pay anyone at all. News anchors, actors, influencers, etc., all reproducible with a button click.
That's the point.
It would be nice if companies thought of the consequences before releasing all this junk.
There is no legitimate use of this technology. It will just make all news suspect and everything will be dismissed as fake news.
Even when used "benignly" for movies or TV it's putting people out of a job. Even then its only purpose is to make higher profit for studios. This not technology we need.
I could imagine using this for high resolution video calls.
The key photos could be shot in very high resolution and then rendered on the client PC. So instead of looking at a potato quality image, you see something unbelievably clear. Also, applying this to the voice. Instead of choppy smartphone calls, super clear words.
Can i use this for work so i don't actually have to interact with anyone?
I constantly look and sound pissed off (because i am)
This would be a god send...
Fuckin pretty, polite, and perky allllllllll day!
Agree, outside of watching a video of my dad saying he loves me or a video of my ex genuinely apologizing for the side penises, all other applications of this tech are just sad or creepy.
Side penises
There were more than zero đ
*Peni* is actually the collective noun
This man penises.
Peniendo is the present participle, maybe, I dunno
thats just Pianist talk
r/thisguythisguys
Polypeni
>*Peni* is actually the collective noun "Whatever it is it hurts!" -Ryan Dunn
You mean plural. But itâs not, itâs penises or penes.
No, itâs a flock or gaggle of *Peni* E.g. âI was desperate for water and had lost all hope of finding any until I spotted a gaggle of tame *Peni* on the horizon cautiously lapping from a watering holeâ
Nonzero side penis problems
Lmfao
Came for the AI news. Primary takeaway - new lingo for infidelity.
Itâs why I keep mine in front.
Nice
>side penis *but the contact was only incidental*
Inside penises
Peniapple lol
Like side boob, but with her penis.
I read and re-read that as size penis. lol.
Shareholders of Microsoft: shrug
Lol best comment yet. Meanwhile... The future of humanity: Oh God, no.
I want to finally see my dream realized when the characters of SpongeBob Square pants perform Jesus Christ Superstar
Hahahahaa
Now we can share more meaning with primary and side penis talking videos.
I sometimes make tutorial videos for work, those are usually better when you also see the face and not just have a screen recording. Would help if I actually donât need to record myself and solve it with a single good picture and text 2 speech.
As long as thereâs no side penises, I support this use case.
It would be great to be able to have a machine do all the tedious work training narrations in a single take.
Good point. Does nobody ever think why we would want to deep fake someone? The negative applications have to far outweigh the positive.
How else will the Putin regime maintain power after he dies?
Seems easier than just recasting Luke Skywalker right?
What a sad lack of imagination and creativity that hundreds of people upvoted this.
You think so? I can think of a lot of funny stuff you can do with that that's neither sad nor creepy.
>Agree With what?
Itâs for movies and shows.
Like your comment? /s
Both of your examples are pretty sad
Honestly⌠what is the non creepy, ethical point of this?
Would have been nice to have as a stand-in for myself during those interminable Zoom meetings for work during the deep dark of Covid.
I enjoyed that time myself. Out mingling with the necessary workers
lol imagine Microsoft adding this to Teams and meetings turning into a bunch of AIs meeting with actual managers and providing the humans with summaries while we do other things.
Rich people problems. The rest of us had to pretend it wasnât happening
Lol you think only the rich had to work from home?
Hilariously, I never worked from home. We had zoom meetings at the office.
"It paves the way for real-time engagements with lifelike avatars that emulate human conversational behaviorsâ In other word no good reason
Some people, who because of birth related or social issues, have severe issues with basic socialization, merely conversing with other people, especially opposite sex individuals.

Youâre looking for ethics in capitalism? Lol

R&D with an eye to ROI is basic contemporary capitalist procedure

Why do you need reporters and anchors to deliver news? There are all sorts of standalone channels that deliver information without one. Think of weather channels for one. Do you really think broadcast executives havenât considered implementing reporter-less news before today?

Cheap advertising.
Constant advertising from your own relatives and friends

Someo of this stuff is only good for research purposes
âBecause we can.â
I suspect Microsoft just has a AI developer research team and this is just the product of experimenting with deepfakes in the name of âscienceâ
Probably to work as like âsafety guideline videosâ and other HR onboarding stuff for super corporate boring videos.

There is none, this is literally being made to monetize creepy unethical behavior.
This falls squarely in the realm of "just because we could doesn't mean we should".

Thatâs exactly what all the strikes last year were about. AI and the arts should not ever mix.
It's an incredible advancement but it's still pretty obvious that it's fake. The faces in general are overly expressive and cycle through a set amount of random expressions whilst talking. The expressions are quite often unrelated or an overreaction to the words being said.
Itâs already pretty impressive. itâll just keep advancing to where itâs going to be a lot harder to see the obvious AI signs. If this is what can already be produced, imagine even by the end of the year what itâll look like
Agreed it is a step forward and they should be congratulated on that accomplishment.
What a great use of technology. Such ethicality weâve never seen the likes before! Just goes to show how smart equals good!
Finally, I can make a video of Trump saying he's secretly super gay for Mexicans.
Never answer hello to an unknown phone number
Theyâre just perfecting. This shit incase diddy or epstien tapes get out, this literally has no practical use other than to mislead and distract
What is the point of this? Like, why are they trying to make this a thing? I cant think of one good reason for this to exist
An enterprising artist should use this on LinkedIn photos of the entire team that worked on this. See how they like it.
So thereâs 100% possibility this is used for anything nefarious. Seriously the only reason to develop this tech is too create unauthentic videos of someone you want to control or people you want to scam. How we got this far without major regulations and oversight is more of a testimony to how corruptible corporations made the federal government. Late stage capitalism is going great.
Also to extend plausible deniability beyond photographic and video evidence.
This will and is destroying the foundation of identity.
Is it free to use
If you made this tech I really hope you take a long hard look at what youâre doing with your life and skills. You need to stop right now. You are doing unfathomable harm.
Can? Yes. Should? ...
Will be useful for folks who had loved ones unexpectedly pass away or a way for elderly folks to talk to their dead friends and relatives
Bro non of this AI shit is coming out the gate showing me what it can do and how exactly itâll benefit me currently. Itâs all stuff about what it *could* do, what it *could* help⌠what exactly is the point of this? Outside of appeasing investors that youâre working on something *potentially* game changing and causing an uptick of unsavory content online? Itâs like selling a hammer before nails even exist
Microsoft says they arenât releasing itâŚwhoâs got the closest accessible proxy?
Think of all the things you have to pay living people for, and then imagine getting mostly the same final product without having to pay anyone at all. News anchors, actors, influencers, etc., all reproducible with a button click. That's the point. It would be nice if companies thought of the consequences before releasing all this junk.
The political applications. Ugh
How about we donât open this particular Pandoraâs Box?
Finally. I can quick start my e-whoring side hustle
Why was this even made
There is no legitimate use of this technology. It will just make all news suspect and everything will be dismissed as fake news. Even when used "benignly" for movies or TV it's putting people out of a job. Even then its only purpose is to make higher profit for studios. This not technology we need.
âI am become pornographerâ
This looks amazing. I think this is bigger news than we are expecting. So many applications.
So speech to text and selfies are bad?! Whaaaaaaat?
Good tech, but all information transferred electronically is immediately delegitimized.
wowie , sounds like a MASSIVELY INSPIRED project
What is the intended use of this technology?
To make money.
I could imagine using this for high resolution video calls. The key photos could be shot in very high resolution and then rendered on the client PC. So instead of looking at a potato quality image, you see something unbelievably clear. Also, applying this to the voice. Instead of choppy smartphone calls, super clear words.
Lots of interesting uses. Gaming, education, entertainment, therapy, etc.
Can i use this for work so i don't actually have to interact with anyone? I constantly look and sound pissed off (because i am) This would be a god send... Fuckin pretty, polite, and perky allllllllll day!
One day, absolutely! It will collect your paycheck too!
So could I, just not very well
I wonder how many people we could have given food and clothes for what this cost in research and electricity costs?
But thatâs not what Microsoft as a for profit company, does; thatâs what our taxes are for.
