The advent of advanced AI is changing the world in many ways. there is a way to generate faces using AI and therefore fake accounts can be created, essentially creating fake people. This is very common, there are Google Drive folders with 100,000 fake pictures, this means that scammers can use these to create fake accounts. Here is one: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WPsVkdt4qDxjV2itBgw_DXkTdU-esEwY. This is a folder of computer-generated faces, this is an example of the power of computers, soon we will have photo-realistic computer-generated videos and this would lead to newsreaders and movie stars that are not real people, just avatars generated by code on a computer. This would be a revolution, but you would not be able to tell what is real or not. That would have its downsides, but Youtube stars could be completely AI-driven and would not even require voice actors, that could be generated as well. The rise of automation will soon be upon us. That will require some kind of basic income for the workers that are replaced by machines. But that is easy to manage. Is it possible that websites could be written by AI and not need writers either? Unemployment is already a big problem and the rise of AI would only make this worse, necessitating some kind of universal income from the government to pay those who are out of work. This kind of socialist ideal is going to be a realistic scenario in the future.
People will adapt to this reality when it comes. They have adapted to the changing climate and technology, so this communist society will work. The people can adapt to all changes in society with no problems, so the changes in the workplace will be no problem at all. Putting Forrest Gump in old footage was done ages ago, and the advances in video editing would make it possible to create totally convincing deep fake videos and movies. Anyone could be put in a movie and it would look real. This is very scary, but we will see what happens in the news when a story can be created with computer-generated imagery that cannot be told apart from real footage. This would mean that public opinion could be swayed by deep fake actors that are just characters in a story. This is an example of a deep fake video. This is the movie No Country for Old Men with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Coin Toss scene. This is seamless, it is totally convincing. So what will the future bring? AI can generate posts online, how long until entire news broadcasts are generated by an intelligent AI master computer?
