Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral on social media. So she clicked on it. She saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake. (www.nytimes.com)

I think this is a good thing. Now there's plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that's just a deepfake! Don't cancel me, it's not real.

    Yes, what a good thing, the end of consequences and easily proven fact.

    We've got a world "leader" who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren't worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.

    Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.
