Reality Defender says they have 90% confidence that the images of sexually explicit poses of Taylor Swift were created using a diffusion model. This AI-driven technology is accessible through more than 100,000 apps and publicly available models, CEO Ben Colman told Ken Conger of the New York Times.
Every week I watch university students give prompts to Bing Image Creator and directly to DALL-E when they create images and videos. I’m training the first generation of chat prompt engineers to produce text and audio recordings with simple prompts.
These AI tools are wildly popular but have made it easier and cheaper than ever to create deepfakes, which portray people doing or saying things they have never done.
With major elections in America and Ireland, we can expect deepfake ads for major political candidates.
I reckon X would have been much more efficient deleting deepfake content if Elon hadn’t terminated the Trust and Safety Team. Nowadays, all New Twitter can do is closely monitor “the situation to ensure that any further violations are immediately addressed, and the content is removed.” Good luck with that.
