I deleted all my photos online, the day I saw nano banana. A lot of people called me paranoid, but this technology just seemed too dangerous. I am now also seeing open source models catch up with them, which was the exact thing I was scared of.
Does it scare y’all too? Especially open source part?
It’s scary to think about it, but I don’t dwell on it since I can’t do much about it without really disrupting my life.
You should be very worried. To scare you more, people use icloud and goolge photo to store your photos on a cloud you do not control and have nothing to do about. Deepfakes are getting harder and harder to spot.
Not really, there are maybe a handful of pictures of me scattered online over the course of 15+ years and even if there would be access to absolutely all the pictures that have been taken of me, including physical ones in my own home. It wouldn’t likely be enough to create believable up to date deepfake.
So it would be rather hard to create believable deepfakes of me and the payoff would be nonexistent. So I’m in a really really low risk group for it.
Though the technology itself is scary and I’ve taken the approach of assuming most things online to be fake until proven otherwise.
The cool thing of AI deepfake, is that everyone can make-it.
Before you would need to know how to use photoshop, and even before photography technique to forge image.Nowadays, even the boomer racist uncle, and the high-schooler niece can do it. It’s great because people will think twice when seeing an image, making them less dangerous.
Or I’m just naive
