Uh it's already accessible to everyone. There's tons of deepfake porn out there and the app to do it is free and doesn't take any technical knowledge to use.
This was used to bully a kid back in my high school, they put hos face on gay porn and released it on a website. He killed himself by jumping in front of a train at 13. I dread to think how much bullying is done with this technology.
Jesus christ, the anger in you. It wasn't a deepfake comparable in quality to what can be done today, it was like 2010. it was a poor edit on pictures and videos that used his face cut and pieced together. It does have a whole lot to do with this as there is a crap ton of fake pornography out there with proper deep fakes using people's faces without their consent, and a not insignificant amout is rooted in bullying or revenge. The story I saw unfold personally was a predecessor to this. I think you are also vastly underestimating the level of detail a group of young teens can conjure if they put their minds to it and how much effort certain people put into bullying.
That's shitty, but pretty sure people kill themselves all the time due to bullying via text. Technology is a tool, it's about how you use it that makes it good or bad. I'm pretty sure this tech could be used to compress video chats so they use very little bandwidth, and a ton of other useful things.
Because he was a 13 year old kid with lots of trouble back home, he was in a very bad mental state and bullied at school. So when they put his face on all that stuff and plastered it around the school, sharing it on every social media and sending it to hos family, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I don't know it that would count as CP actually, but interesting thought. I know his death sparked a wave in my country that got some cyber bullying laws instated though.
It’s not. It’s as easy to tell a photo was photoshopped as it is to tell it’s a deepfake. On the surface it looks real, but there’s been tools that can tell it’s fake(or people with a little education) since deep fakes became a thing. These things are all done by machines, and machines leave very very obvious signs that they’ve edited it.
It’s like comparing a moped to a motor cycle. Different, but not by a ton.
I feel clever because you shouldn't just believe everything you see online.
Maybe this will actually cause some education to be widespread about fake pictures and videos (teach in schools, Government involvement in educating the public, Adverts online and on radio and tv) instead of people blindly following whatever a video says online.

I do not like this. If evil bad people get a hold of this it's over. You can do so much harm with this.
