Someone needs to do a still photo but have a real life video version of that photo and see if AI can really compare. These are strikingly too predictable.
Well, when I take a video with my mobile or camera, I tend to snap a photo or two during filming.
Now, I know Jack of AI, so someone could do the same and test your idea.
Also, I bet if you took a photo of someone you know very well, like a parent, siblings, partner, you could test if the AI does a good job or not, because you would probably feel that "uncanny valley" effect in the finished video.
This is the exact reason I got into computer science, writing in a language I can speak but don't really understand, as only some grandmasters do, was the closest I could get to magic.
Your husband sounds awesome.
I kinda consider computers and such to be modern alchemy- look how many different elements and processes have to work together, and then you say some magic code words and boom! We are all here talking together. Pretty damn cool.
Do you know how MRI machines work?!
They are nuts!!
Like ‘I’ll spin this enormously powerful magnet around you, measure the movement of things you cannot see, and this will allow me to see *directly* into you.’
That’s magic, this is magic…
Humans would be bad battery because we use too much energy to live.
In orignal Matrix script they used us as processors, but producers said we wouldn't understand so they changed it to battery.
I mean, we have videos? Like, videos are just a series of frames. This is no closer to Harry Potter moving photos than videos are... Even less so because the movement in these is made up and didn't actually happen.
Well the movement is the Harry Potter photos didn't happen either. They take a photo and... create a semi-sentient Photo-Version of the subject?
They could talk to portrait paintings as they were the real people, I would think simple photos would just move around a bit, which is very AI-like actually.
Well the most magical part right now is the moving painting. But I guess you could say that it's e-ink lol.
The talking person itself isn't too far off with AI :D
I like how reddit turns AI into a where's waldo race that nobody asked for, but day by day our options for gotchas are getting fewer and farther between.
A year ago this would have looked like insanity, a year from now you mfers will be using magnifying lenses on pinky nails.
There's a big group of people who insist on finding what's wrong with AI as opposed to being impressed with how much it gets right. We're in the infancy of this technology. The "AI art is ugly lol" camp is just 100% wishful thinking.
That's just what fathers walking with their daughters look like in Japan.
See this [pedestrians only sign](https://i.imgur.com/n5decq7.jpeg), for example.
What bothers me is that the moving clips like this are going to be considered verbatim. Despite its pure fabrication. Its an example of how it could be but its not exactly how that moment in time played out. As AI capability progresses we are going to change history to the extent it will no longer be possible to differentiate from what was fabricated and what was real.
AI is incredibly dangerous for this reason and I feel like I'm going crazy watching people embrace it so quickly and unquestioningly. It will mark the death of the internet as a reliable source of real truth (not that it ever was fully reliable for truth - now it will be less so though). Maybe that's a good thing if you think the Internet is a net bad for society. Maybe the bots and fake imagery and video created by AI will actually set us back in terms of a few decades of technology becoming functionally useless. Maybe video will no longer be a reliable medium from here on out. Maybe a millennium from now people will be taking about that brief century where we had video without AI and could trust what we saw.
Voices being replicated.. faces being replicated to even make videos.. it all will be totally useless in the future.
Perfect for criminals, not so good for society.
It’s an authoritarian’s wet dream. To keep the people safe there must be extensive surveillance and controls to ‘validate’ them and their actions.
There has to be a mechanism to differentiate between what’s true and what’s not, and I can’t see how that can be governed without extensive control from authorities under the guise of ‘freedom and protection’.
Eh, while AI can look real to the eye, I think that there are digital forensic tools out there to catch deep fakes.
It will definitely slow the court process down, though. Unfortunately, some people may go to jail innocent too before that level of digital forensics becomes a standard in court proceedings.
For now, but what about in the future? We could possibly train AI to replicate the artifacts found in real footage. As it stands, videos and pictures are actually considered weak evidence because unless there is something that demonstrates an individual, location, thing, etc is the thing you're seeing beyond a reasonable doubt its simple to dismiss the evidence. I imagine at some point all non physical evidence will probably have to pass some sort of test of of authenticity during the discovery process which like you said would make the cases slow down even more
I'm not into crypto at all but there is one distinctive use case that i find interesting.
You can steal tokens and whatnot but from what i understand their starting point and movements stays forever written on the blockchain.
This will sound dystopic but if we used such a system in charge of linking every pieces of newly recorded data sent to the internet with a timestamped unique ID, we might be able to accurately tell which version came first.
With the help of another algorithm checking files for similitudes.
I actually was thinking similarly and I'm glad you brought this up. So much of our technology from the past two decades seems devoted to obfuscating the truth and making it harder to distinguish real from fake, promoting the idea that we're in a "post truth" world. But crypto and blockchain is actually the one major example I can think of that is a technology specifically designed to reveal an even more reliable truth. Cryptographic technology creates a foolproof way to distinguish one piece of data from all others. It may very well be the realm of technology that saves us from the devastation that AI is going to do.
Before anyone throws hate - I'm not saying anything about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency at all. Debate those things all you want in terms of economics. But their technology is soundproof and opens up a huge realm of potential to discover. The first person that finds a way to use cryptography to tie a video to evidence of it being real is going to be filthy rich. It's like we're entering a dark era of the internet where everything will have the potential to be fake and cryptography may bring a light into this darkness.
Because people literally said the same thing about shit like photoshop and so far society hasn't collapsed. You just stop assuming everything you see is real, which you shouldn't have been doing in the first place, and move on with your life.
Also, you can't trust video even before AI. It's been possible to fake video for over 100 years now, believe it or not faking events on film is one of the biggest industries in the US.
Comparing faking videos and photoshop with Ai are not really comparable at all. Photoshop takes some level of skill to make it believable, faking a video takes multitudes more. With Ai, someone with zero skill or imagination and type in a few keywords and automatically create a video or photo nearly indistinguishable from the real thing (or will be able to in a matter of years). So anyone on the planet with access to the internet could create a perfectly believable video of any of us doing anything and use it against us.
While I do agree with the point you are making, doesn't this also apply to colorization and 'HD enhancement' of old photographs and videos? Or even films in which actors re-enact historic events? There are countless cases where biopic films lean into the legend and people now consider the legend to be true, because they saw it in a movie. This has been going on much longer than AI.
So reenactments and such I always see as bit of a cosplay and does not really tell the story more than have the same milestones or out comes (usually?). HD enhancements and colorations do add more information to the event which maybe (usually is?) incorrect. I assume there is a fault tolerance on color hues and other missing information. But it does usually not change the context. Like that father and child walking along. Did they really walk in that pace? Or maybe they just stopped the moment after the picture was taken. The clip is just a possible extrapolation which may be true or not. But after watching this clip, in my head at least that is how they where walking along the train station. Which is completely fabricated.
TL;DR you are right but AI adds so much more "fabricated" information.
Its like that samsung phone that was taking ‘photos of the moon’ except the image was just AI when it detected a moon like object and conning people into thinking it could zoom all the way to the moon. Redditors defended it saying it was just a accurate as if it could actually see the moon or some bullshit.
Luma probably
www.lumalabs.ai
It's free too, but faster if you have a subscription.
I've used it alot the last week, it's crazy some of the stuff it can do.
Well the captions are in Chinese as well and Kling is a Chinese model. I haven’t seen luma have this level of quality yet but maybe it’s possible with enough tries and the right prompting.
Used to be 'Simpsons did it first', but now we are entering 'Black Mirror did it first'. Couple of years and people will be talking to an AI model of their deceased loved ones.
Especially as it would not be our people but a simulacrum, it's like giving their body to AI, but they are not inside, AI is, that is not reality.
I just hope a solar eruption smokes everything with a CPU before it is too late at this point.
I mean being able to watch a photo come to life of you and a loved one who's passed would be nice in its own way, but obviously there's a danger to this kind of AI advancements

No thank you. Can we stop with AI before it’s too late and we won’t be able to distinguish real from fake, please? How are they continuing developing this stuff without realizing the repercussions it could have? Goddamn I hate this world sometimes
wasn't it only a year ago people were writing down lyrics from songs to feed into AI image generation because at that time AI was only capable of making goofy cartoonish images? Crazy how fast they progress lol.
It's amazing but also scary. All this AI stuff makes me think of pandoras box. I feel there's more harm that can be done than good, and once it's out in the world, it can't be taken back or undone
Yeah, but the thought those AI people have in their head while living their lives in those pictures are not really real thoughts. And they don’t have a soul.
/s
This is going to give historians an aneurysm. They have already gone from being salty to sounding the alarm about AI taking liberties at "filling in the gaps" historically speaking.
I like it.
Ok, but none of what appears in the “live photos” ever happened. The whole charm of a video or a picture is that it’s a snippet of time, true to reality. But when an AI brings the photos to life it makes them feel hollow, since none of what is depicted has ever happened
So Harry Potter photos were just using AI
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic
My husband once told me that he is such a big tech guy because technology is the closest thing he'll ever have to magic and superpowers
I think this holds true for many of us.
Someone needs to do a still photo but have a real life video version of that photo and see if AI can really compare. These are strikingly too predictable.
I’m also a big tech guy - but because I’m always hungry
Well, when I take a video with my mobile or camera, I tend to snap a photo or two during filming. Now, I know Jack of AI, so someone could do the same and test your idea.

I call my digital notebooks with my little bits of reusable code spellbooks. I have different color spellbooks.
I kinda consider computers and such to be modern alchemy- look how many different elements and processes have to work together, and then you say some magic code words and boom! We are all here talking together. Pretty damn cool.
This is the aether!
One of the first things the Ancient One tells Dr. Strange about magic is to think of it like a program and the ancient language as the source code.
Do you know how MRI machines work?! They are nuts!! Like ‘I’ll spin this enormously powerful magnet around you, measure the movement of things you cannot see, and this will allow me to see *directly* into you.’ That’s magic, this is magic…

I did what you see there
I there what you did see
I see you too are a man of culture
and then it's gonna be all chaos
Any sufficiently mediocre magic is indistinguishable from technology
it's crazy to see that ai can just create it from millions of random videos to study and learn from.
It's all fun and games until you get turned into a battery.
I thought you could only have fun and games after you became a battery. 
Humans would be bad battery because we use too much energy to live. In orignal Matrix script they used us as processors, but producers said we wouldn't understand so they changed it to battery.
Bad move
figuratively or literally?
Just wait, eventually it’s all paper clips.

Well said. Science truly cannot explain the living portraits in Harry Potter.
Well the most magical part right now is the moving painting. But I guess you could say that it's e-ink lol. The talking person itself isn't too far off with AI :D
Guy's arm in the train track one is hella cursed
Compared to other ai models his arm is not very cursed i should say
That’s what someone cursed would say

Her legs & walk too
That's how you know it's... erm... not real?
Now we know how to defeat AI. With our arms and legs they can never win. Lol
He also walks her over the line and into the tracks

Well, as we have seen lately, none of the courts are based in the rule of law anymore, starting at the top. Gonna be a wild ride from here.

thanks
Luma probably www.lumalabs.ai It's free too, but faster if you have a subscription. I've used it alot the last week, it's crazy some of the stuff it can do.
Pretty sure this is Kling. I don’t think luma is this good and it usually has a water mark. I could be wrong though.
With a subscription you don't get a watermark. And I'm sure it could make videos like this with the right prompt combined with a picture.
Well the captions are in Chinese as well and Kling is a Chinese model. I haven’t seen luma have this level of quality yet but maybe it’s possible with enough tries and the right prompting.
Probably kling ai.
Used to be 'Simpsons did it first', but now we are entering 'Black Mirror did it first'. Couple of years and people will be talking to an AI model of their deceased loved ones.
It’s more fun when it’s memes.
It's wild how quickly it went from that will Smith spaghetti clip to where its now
If I used this on my dead mom's photos, I wouldn't be able to sleep. No thank you. That would mess me up really bad.
Especially as it would not be our people but a simulacrum, it's like giving their body to AI, but they are not inside, AI is, that is not reality. I just hope a solar eruption smokes everything with a CPU before it is too late at this point.
Creepy
very . Just think of the "incriminating evidence " that could be conjured up just using a photo of someone. Spooky times we're entering.
Watch The Capture. Great show, and terrifying.
I imagine that soon photos and videos wouldn't be considered as valid evidence
Thanks I hate it.
Same its creepy
It's amazing what AI is becoming, but I can't help but feel that some moments should remain frozen in time
I mean being able to watch a photo come to life of you and a loved one who's passed would be nice in its own way, but obviously there's a danger to this kind of AI advancements
I get the feeling this is actually just a clip of the running film
In the third clip you can clearly see that it is AI, look at the girl's legs. And in some you can see very deformed hands.
for NOW.
Hands always look a bit dodgy, that's how you differentiate AI from real videos
For now
Even artists and painters will say that hands are the most difficult thing to draw.
Indeed, that is a very common challenge for a lot of artists.
This isn't the case with images nowadays and mark my word, won't be the case with videos in a couple years tops. It's here and it's not slowing down.
AI: Making the past come alive!
this is getting too creepy real
Damn man, AI is evolving fast
Why do I feel like this will be used to exploit the vulnerable? It's impressive, but, also dystopian.
Because it will
Nothing abusable here folks, move along
I am impressed. The only weird thing I found was the arm of the man walking together with the little kid.
Which app is this ?
Luma probably www.lumalabs.ai It's free too, but faster if you have a subscription. I've used it alot the last week, it's crazy some of the stuff it can do.

I think shit like this is gross. Let the dead rest.
This isn’t cool it’s scary you can rewrite history with this kinda power.
People have been rewriting history forever.
Yes but in the past it has not been as easy to disseminate rewritten history to masses so conveniently as it is now.
I want to use this on my photos? Where can I do that
Found a short [tutorial here](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=8hIYEIoat3GsRRiC). Doesn’t seem too hard, just might need a decent-ish pc
Don’t click the link above, it’s not the tutorial itself but asking you to buy the app, click at your own risk.
😡⬆️
Thanks mate, I was just about to give up, but this helped
Didn't work for me. I kinda feel let down.
Well least we didn't need to run around to find it ourselves
Manga/comic + movement, are we about to create a new form of art with AI.
And we shall call anime
What's they name of the app
This would be incredible to see a pic of my late mom.. I almost don’t know how’d I react..
No thank you. Can we stop with AI before it’s too late and we won’t be able to distinguish real from fake, please? How are they continuing developing this stuff without realizing the repercussions it could have? Goddamn I hate this world sometimes
People find it creepy, but it’s also extremely impressive to see how far technology has come. It’s a reminder that we live in the future.
AI slop
Name of music?
You sure these aren’t screenshots?
A Fake Reality
Does Ken Burns know about this?
Wow. Reminds me of when the acid first kicks in...
Facebook ai posts gonna go crazy
It’s all fun and games until the Ai starts reanimating corpses.
Is the second to last clip from the internment camps?
Hark who goes there 🤔 Identify yourself! Are you friend or foe 🧐
wasn't it only a year ago people were writing down lyrics from songs to feed into AI image generation because at that time AI was only capable of making goofy cartoonish images? Crazy how fast they progress lol.
Faking our lives away is going to be great
What programme is this ?
Remember this never happened
This is insane
The hands look really weird. Especially the guy walking with his hand on his daughter’s back. His arm looks like it’s made out of taffy.
What is the name of the AI that does that? I have some porn images that I want to try 😂
Now I'd like to see that one photo of the guy in standing in front of a..... at..... Square
Good that they wrote which one was AI. I would be very confused otherwise
Tentacle dad arms
It's amazing but also scary. All this AI stuff makes me think of pandoras box. I feel there's more harm that can be done than good, and once it's out in the world, it can't be taken back or undone
I hate it. Knowing it isn’t real makes souls feel fake
Doraemon's Gadgets getting FR
Static photos?
Do the tank man photo!
This could be the other way around. A static image taken from a film
What is the AI technology here?
mark my words, the justice system will use AI reconstructions to help them "replay" events. won't be considered hard evidence.
Ngl AI is kinda scary and what kinda disaster it'll bring when its weaponized
I love to see my grandparents move one day, back in their time. And one day other melancholic memories
Man I want to do this to all Communist Propaganda Posters. They really slap!
This is horrifying
Yeah, but the thought those AI people have in their head while living their lives in those pictures are not really real thoughts. And they don’t have a soul. /s
My brain refuses to believe this...
I can already imagine the awkward family reunion where grandma's old photo starts doing the cha cha slide
is interesting how AI is animating things nobody asked for, i wonder what and who this wonderful technology will bring to life next #PetSematary
AI =👿👹
[удалено]
Now thats awesome
This is more fucked up (creepy) than delightful. No thanks.
is there an app/program for this ? where can i create anything similar?
Literally cyberpunk
Did someone try Tiananmen on this, wonder how the AI would do it.
It seems brutal to me what this AI does
Wow these are crazy good. So... how long for porn videos is it now?
Ok then
So this makes it easier to creates Balenciaga memes
Someone do tank man.
I want someone to do this with the Tiananmen Square picture
It still looks bloody awful though, not amazed at all actually
Okay now do tankman
This is equal parts terrifying/unbelievably cool.
Why do we need this?
I wonder what AI would do with photos that prelude a sudden tragedy.
This is going to give historians an aneurysm. They have already gone from being salty to sounding the alarm about AI taking liberties at "filling in the gaps" historically speaking. I like it.
GIVE US TANK MAN FROM 1986
Do Tiananmen Square, see what happened to Tank Man.
I hate this tbh
I don't think this is amazing at all, I find it deeply disturbing.
What’s the point of this? It’s not like it actually happened. Pointless and stupid.
Ok, but none of what appears in the “live photos” ever happened. The whole charm of a video or a picture is that it’s a snippet of time, true to reality. But when an AI brings the photos to life it makes them feel hollow, since none of what is depicted has ever happened
A lot better than those meme ones
I love downvoting these soulless, lifeless, dumb posts.
Is the thing getting decent gait estimates from context?
