“If we didn’t create the evil misinformation bot, someone else would have. You should be happy it was a massive corporation that controls this patent, not some soulest unethical entity whose motives are profit over everything. That was a close one. Phew.”
Is there really no legal liability for the defamation cases this seems sure to produce?
The tech it self is “fine” it’s just any use of it that is basically always going to be a problem.
You can’t make things proactively illegal because it could be used for illegal shit. Unless it can ONLY be used for illegal shit. And even then it’s iffy.
Else you end up killing progress. It’s stupid, but there’s not a great solution.
I can see how this would be neat in places that dub a lot of their foreign media so lip/mouth movement actually fits the words spoken. It has always been a complete deal breaker for me with dubbed media because it instantly shatters my suspension of disbelief and makes it all feel like the shittiest amateur theater performance.
I’d still prefer subtitles, since verbal is half the acting. And even tone can convey emotion that turning it into simply a visual one leads to missing half the actor’s performance.
At that point it is better to watch dubbed animation.
I prefer subtiles as well. But there are many countries that dub almost everything to their native language, and I think having the mouth actually follow the dubbed audio would definitely improve the experience. The dubbed versions in e.g. Germany have loads of voice acting in it so it fits the emotion and vibe of the scenes, so this would just improve that.
I refuse to watch live action dubs. That is what piracy is for if a country refuses to provide the original source material.
I mean, I agree I don’t watch them either because of the reason mentioned in my original comment. But I can still see the value this offers to all the people that do actually watch them.
I’d personally put more value in pushing people out of their comfort zone towards watching entire performances done by the actors and learning to read subtitles quicker.
Kind of funny that I watched Dark in German, but if it were an english production German people would be watching it dubbed.

What? We literally do that all the time.
How can this even be called progress? Progress of what? If anything, this regresses society at large.
Who would have thought AI would be used for this?
Everyone, forever.
Everyone, forever.
That’s why it was M$ now. They go for trvial.
Do you think Microslop can use this to help get out of being held accountable for directly profiting off of the Palestinian Genocide?
For years we’ve been told to watch the full clip for context. Now two people can watch the same live event, hear completely different words, and both have video evidence. Microsoft has somehow found a way to make »I saw it with my own eyes« even less reliable.
That’s part of the AI push. Those in power want to retain it - now they can fabricate evidence, or claim real evidence is faked.
Bonus round: when they make it so that everything has to be stored in the cloud, they can just modify or delete stuff at will.
Hey - I know I’ve asked this before, but you must have forgotten to reply. Are you a real person?
There is a real person behind that account, but it appears to be mostly a bot.
But think how much easier it will be for the Ministry of Truth to retroactively update all the telescreen feed archives!
This was always the goal of AI
Pssst, you’re replying to an AI bot.
Maybe so, but not everyone reading is a bot.
Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you
Bold of you to assume we can read. Sidenote, not a bot, dictated but not read -elchinchilla
Yup, been saying for years that this is one of the reasons it’s a fundamentally fascist technology.
We have [always|never] been at war with [eastasia|eurasia]
Creepy
That’s not already patented?
Anyway. Just means that now voices of authority are just voices (again). Some things about Victorian ideas of law and authority were good. Some bad, like that these things don’t extend to barbaric areas of the world, those are to make money selling stuff and growing cotton.
This is in some sense feedback to radio, mass media and the internet, as devices of propaganda.
Provided, of course, everyone knows that such things can be done, but honestly they already know.
If it can be done, they will do it. Power is unconstrained by ethics, empathy, or morality. Never assume that anyone in power shares these traits with the rest of us, they do not.
The only thing that constrains power is enforced laws with teeth.
In America, we don’t enforce the law on those rich enough to pay congress.
Well, Time to burn down their offices.
Oh hey, it’s the tech from the running man.
Cool cool cool
To me this is like reading that locks are now obsolete because somebody invented a way to unlock them just by touching them. On one hand it makes me angry that somebody would invent such a thing. On the other hand it means locks have always had this hidden weakness which would eventually be figured out, and now here we are. So what do we do next? I mean, in terms of things that might actually help?

Become a society with strong critical thinking skills who values people based on reasoned takes based on experience and science over people who value rapid, loud appeals to emotion.
One piece of that is recognizing that doing things like putting flat earthers up in high altitude planes or near space is a waste of resources that could’ve been spent doing something better.
EDIT: that last paragraph was an incomplete thought. Individual flat earthers have done the whole scientific method thing, and proved themselves incorrect and stepped away from it. How do you handle the people that refuse to be convinced? If there’s no level evidence that a person will accept and they’re out in the forest commons chopping down trees to build a tower to whatever is on top of earth, how do you tolerate it at a societal level? It’s still an incomplete thought.
wow, way to go Microsoft. I am sure you market it with some bullshit like it helps you prevent live broadcast slips but we all know your wet dream is that fascistic goverments line-up in your doorstep to buy this tech from you. It will also remove any sort of accountability from news reporting. Someone can now say “Heil Hitler” on live tv and then say it was an AI fault. Not that they are fazed by such a fault in the US now a days but your get the idea.
Or make anyone say ‘heil hitler’ to normalize the viewpoint and she everyone is ok with it.

So someone saw ‘the Capture’ and thought “that’s a great idea”.
The game show host of the original Running Man would have loved this tech. It’s streets ahead.
