Benj Edwards, writing for Ars Technica, “New AI image-generation technology allows anyone to save a handful of photos (or video frames) of you, then train AI to create realistic fake photos that show you doing embarrassing or illegal things.” Ouch!
@Nupe117 The Ars Technica link is in the Daily Kos piece. Reading it, my first thought wasn't people making fake photos to embarass others, which is the hook in the story, but rather how it could be used by catfishers and others to take advantage of the unwary. No more painfully obvious posed pictures of models. Now they can create attractive identities and depict them in all sorts of activities. Sporty, sexy, rugged, handsome? All doable. Impoverished and needing a handout? Double check.
CounterSocial is the first Social Network Platform to take a zero-tolerance stance to hostile nations, bot accounts and trolls who are weaponizing OUR social media platforms and freedoms to engage in influence operations against us. And we're here to counter it.
