So I said in the 80's while working on a pc using dos 2 that within a hundred years there will not be a single "actor" working because all technology will need is your likeness. Hell... while using dos 5 I was able to substitute the sound of closing windows 3 for a flushing toilet or my recording of "windows go to hell". Software is already invented to take your likeness and make you do anything the director wants... cry, act upset, scream, look disturbed etc. Only exception will be live theater. So I am not william gibson... But I was on record on class paper. No Big Deal... I had predicted the end of acting substituted by a programer. That's cool there will be no point on watching films anymore or voting for oscars except for technology achievements. A lot of writers had mentioned advances that will be part of our future... Only one I may care about is those that predicted WW3 as a Nuclear Event that will put Humanity to Pasture. Don't do porn or interested on starlets or big stars sex tapes.

You had me at "porn" heh heh

Wow.

According to magazine Variety, this bizarre phenomenon took an unexpected turn in January when a Reddit user published an app that allows anyone without much technical knowledge to produce their own deepfake videos.

“The app has been downloaded more than 100,000 times since its release, according to its creator – and new clips are being uploaded by the dozens,” the publication said.

Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Margot Robbie, Taylor Swift, Daisy Ridley and Gal Gadot are among several actresses who have had their faces merged with pornography.

Many fear that the repercussions of this technology could go far beyond sex and celebrities. “Imagine not being able to hold politicians accountable with video anymore because it could be fake,” said Reddit user ThatPickelGuy.

“This is turning into an episode of ‘Black Mirror’,” wrote a user going by the name CapntainIceberg, referring to a futuristic dystopian sci-fi series.
