I think this type unauthorized use of somebody's likeness is going to define the next wave of AI image and video generation. Sadly a lot of people will fall for it because they don't know how good it is.
There was that teenager in Spain who was arrested for making nude AI models of his female classmates. I've had friends match with people on Tinder who then later send nude pics of them - AI generated - along with a demand for money or they will misuse it. It's going to get a whole lot worse before the public is educated about this.
But that's just the nasty small scale stuff. We're going to see celebrities and public personas in all kinds of questionable roles, appearing so authentic that average people won't notice it's deepfaked. Great.
It's going to be a scammers wet dream for a while.
Until legislators get caught up with it. Which they will because this is already being used for political misinformation and fucking up with very rich people's wallets. The only solution is to go full Butlerian Jihad on it and forbid ML image generation and LLMs altogether. Before that, more than one authoritarian government will use it to manipulate the masses.
Well, it's open source... so that cat is not going back in the bag so to speak. Some technophobe countries will try to set up a bunch of laws but outside their borders the craziness will persist. I think the only way past this is to go straight through. We're going to see a lot of people manipulated.
Honestly I think they could relatively effectively curb non-state-level use in a lot of situations. If the risk of using them or disseminating them were controlled even nearly as tightly as copyright law, that relatively low bar would already filter out most users. Understand that it's technically non-trivial to set up and use these models. You might see them continue as warez and the like through torrent sites, but they aren't as simple as a pirated movie--you can't just copy it over and play it in most cases. 100% reduction is impossible by any reasonable means, but even 90% reduction would go a long way toward avoiding just one-off acts
The sex tapes are going to be wild. Choose your own adventure styles.
The next warning from Tom Hanks is going to be wild. "There's an unauthorized AI version of me doing... unspeakable things".
If Wilson is involved, I may have to..
