DeepFake — Max Headroom, 30 years into the future!
Remember “Max Headroom”? Futuristic TV show of AI (virtual) news host, started in 1985 with an episode called “20 minutes into the future”. Well, let's see how scary it can look today!
Cameras back then were so big and heavy! But that's not the scary part. Scary part is this — today you can “borrow” any public face and make your own fake news, better then ever! You just have to have Face2Face program and a web camera…
Duration: 6:35
…and you are good to do some real-time face capture and reenactment!
What would Max Headroom say to this?
It is really most interesting how life has surpassed dystopian visions of the future. Headspinning…
You have to wonder when will this technology be abused in the MSM “news”. Or maybe already it was? Was that really John McAfee giving you crypto advices? Did virtual Obama promised “Closing the Gitmo”? Which Trump did you watch on your TV fakenews set?
So far we can only confirm use in the adult movies industry, where you can see celebrities as a porn stars. But why would politicians fare better? ;)
i see it as good thing. ladder in our evolution. death of mainstream media ;D
I loved MAX!!!! I want a MAX Headroom app for my phone.
