I am reasonably proficient with Photoshop and can spot a lot of fakes on still shots through a close look with the Photoshop program but AI generated videos really concern me with the election coming up.

To Niki7
"How does this make the news forum in a Christian forum? seriously? Trash news IMO"

I agree that it is trash news, however we actually need to be aware of what can be done with computer editing software.
Sadly lot of folks will simply believe what they see.
I agree, if a photoshopped video is obviously fake then it is not so threatening, but if these videos are very hard to discern then it is a very clear warning to everyone. "Don't cross us or we'll do the same to you". Imagine how expensive and how difficult and how slanderous it would be to defend yourself from one of these deep fakes. I have tried to keep my face off the internet and my voice off, we have been warned of false witnesses, false accusations, we have been told by the Lord that they will do this against the believers.

The fake images — deepfakes — portrayed Swift in several sexualized positions...
The real issue is not the deep fake photos but how a person who probably has little or nothing to offer has suddenly become so prominent, and is being used to sway voters to Biden. Why would anyone pay any attention to any Taylor Swift unless this was a psychological operation against Trump? Biden has nothing to offer either.

That was my attitude, but the reason is because of the deep fakes that AI can generate now in order to create chaos. We should all be aware of this. I would have chosen the news story where Elon Musk blocked access to these on X as the "news" article, but whatever, it is definitely a worthy topic for the news thread.
I don't have an 'attitude' if I say a Christian forum does not need to discuss a salacious topic. I noticed that someone posted a thread about how they are having a porn problem and wish they had never viewed porn in the first place. Curiosity being what it is and men being how they are, I can guarantee that some will go and try to find these fake pics...from this forum or otherwise.

There have been other threads in this forum about AI and that should be discussed.

There is simply probably thousands/millions of articles on the web about AI. They are factual and discuss the pros and cons.

Now start a thread of that nature and that might be beneficial. You don't need clickbait to discuss this topic

I suppose the reader gleans what they wish to glean when reading the OP. However, if one pays attention to the "disclaimer" clearly posted at the beginning of the OP, they should be able to see past the "nude pics" part, and understand that the OP is about how people are using AI for all sorts of nefarious purposes.

As far as should it be posted for discussion here, given the plethora of Threads that have been posted here discussing Clintons and Trumps sexual escapades, I hardly believe this particular Post is so much more offensive. As well, given what the Left is doing with AI to discredit Trump, the Trumpies should be interested in realizing how such a discussion of the nefarious use of AI could well effect the upcoming Election.

"disclaimer"

No, wait. Read the Story first.....then you will understand why I do not trust what I read or see from internet sources.

And? your point? you are allowed your opinion and so is anyone else.
Wasn't it obvious that my point was to counter your point that it was? We are all allowed our opinions, but history shows that it's not good to let a minority sound like a majority.

I think it was just a minority opinion, from one with a personal bugbear. No one else considered the title itself anymore than what it was.

There's really not much anyone can do to circumvent salaciousness when addressing the characteristics and mannerisms of a salacious world.

Perhaps thread could have been retitled "Lewd singer outraged over faked AI nudes showing her face?" But it wouldn't be consistent with the posting of other topics from a worldly point of view, and some of the message that the masses are getting would have been lost.

But anyone reading that would think "Boring" and hence "Who cares?". The way it was worded, people would at least realise why the general population would be buying into the psy-op.

OK, how about this:

In a world of deceit and intrigue, the explosive unveiling of fabricated private snapshots claims to entangle global pop sensation Taylor Swift in a web of espionage.

I gather the OP was attempting to capture the hypocrisy of ... words come so slowly to me...but I think that is because my OCD requires the perfect expression... and for lack of a better one coming anytime soon, I will say.... the pedaler of sex' outrage of being pedaled... However, the title, to me, seemed to suggest the outrage of the community, and I'm not sure that was an accurate representation of the general consensus, since I'd gather that the world could really care less. I might just be projecting my sentiments though.

You should start a thread...Daily Thoughts with Mem. I'd follow it.

And try to keep using words like "circumvent" and "salaciousness". Not only are they cool words, I'm sure if you talk about them enough in a thread, someone will come up with an invention that actually enables us to circumvent the salaciousness of a salacious world.

stick to your guns then and post clickbait when it was never necessary if you actually wish to discuss AI and the ability to create deepfake vids and so on which will only improve

I could care less about the sexual escapades of unregenerate people but I do kind of wonder about the curiosity of Christians who just have to talk about it :rolleyes:

Like Paul said, such were some of you. Now, you should think about, talk about and show a new life in Christ.
