“Watch out that no one deceives you.'

 

MATTHEW 24:3-4

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.'

Humans Find AI-Generated Faces More Trustworthy Than the Real Thing

"Viewers struggle to distinguish images of sophisticated machine-generated faces from actual humans."

'One tell for a deepfake used to be the “uncanny valley” effect, an unsettling feeling triggered by the hollow look in a synthetic person’s eyes.

(It's the exact feeling I has when meeting a certain someone? I told my buddy, something just wasn't right, I could just feel it when we looked in each others eyes...and he knew I knew...synthetic, soulless, plastic, antiseptic were the words I remember coming to mind.)

"But increasingly convincing images are pulling viewers out of the valley and into the world of deception promulgated by deepfakes."

"The startling realism has implications for malevolent uses of the technology: its potential weaponization in disinformation campaigns for political or other gain, the creation of false porn for blackmail, and any number of intricate manipulations for novel forms of abuse and fraud. Developing countermeasures to identify deepfakes has turned into an “arms race” between security sleuths on one side and cybercriminals and cyberwarfare operatives on the other."

"A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA provides a measure of how far the technology has progressed. The results suggest that real humans can easily fall for machine-generated faces—and even interpret them as more trustworthy than the genuine article. “We found that not only are synthetic faces highly realistic, they are deemed more trustworthy than real faces,” says study co-author Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. The result raises concerns that “these faces could be highly effective when used for nefarious purposes.”

"The synthetic faces for this study were developed in back-and-forth interactions between two neural networks, examples of a type known as generative adversarial networks. One of the networks, called a generator, produced an evolving series of synthetic faces like a student working progressively through rough drafts. The other network, known as a discriminator, trained on real images and then graded the generated output by comparing it with data on actual faces.

The generator began the exercise with random pixels. With feedback from the discriminator, it gradually produced increasingly realistic humanlike faces. Ultimately, the discriminator was unable to distinguish a real face from a fake one."

"The researchers were not expecting these results. “We initially thought that the synthetic faces would be less trustworthy than the real faces,” says study co-author Sophie Nightingale."

"The uncanny valley idea is not completely retired. Study participants did overwhelmingly identify some of the fakes as fake. “We’re not saying that every single image generated is indistinguishable from a real face, but a significant number of them are,” Nightingale says."

"The finding adds to concerns about the accessibility of technology that makes it possible for just about anyone to create deceptive still images. “Anyone can create synthetic content without specialized knowledge of Photoshop or CGI,” Nightingale says. Another concern is that such findings will create the impression that deepfakes will become completely undetectable, says Wael Abd-Almageed, founding director of the Visual Intelligence and Multimedia Analytics Laboratory at the University of Southern California, who was not involved in the study."

("create the impression that deepfakes will become completely undetectable", Gods Moral justification for extermination)

“The conversation that’s not happening enough in this research community is how to start proactively to improve these detection tools,” says Sam Gregory, director of programs strategy and innovation at WITNESS, a human rights organization that in part focuses on ways to distinguish deepfakes.

(My option is Artificial Intelligence will render "deepfake" detection tools useless anyway.)

"The authors of the study end with a stark conclusion after emphasizing that deceptive uses of deepfakes will continue to pose a threat: “We, therefore, encourage those developing these technologies to consider whether the associated risks are greater than their benefits,” they write. “If so, then we discourage the development of technology simply because it is possible.”

(The genie is out of the bottle yo, so good luck :-).

Billy Crone (The Final Countdown Tribulation Rising The AI Invasion) in the video I shard a while back (and today) is absolutely correct, Artificial Intelligence is about thirty years ahead of where the experts are telling you it is currently.

'One tell for a deepfake used to be the “uncanny valley” effect, an unsettling feeling triggered by the hollow look in a synthetic person’s eyes."

Only those with a high degree of discernment will ever be able to tell something is wrong, the "unsettling feeling triggered by the hollow look in a synthetic person’s eyes."

They're already here. God is not gonna have it. Best to have your soul ready for the eternity you wish to enjoy.

Upon our second meeting, I sat in the back of a church pew with Bibles and manila folders all around me like a lawyer ready to go to trial against what I KNEW to be an extremely subtle false prophet. He said the word "Discernment" 35 times or so (I think it was) in approximately 30 minutes. There were 8? 10? people attending. Only one thing could have not had the intuition to know who it was that was possessing the spiritual gift of Discernment that was present that evening. A machine, a synthetic soulless entity.

I knew something wasn't right when when I looked in his eyes at our previous meeting. (UNCANNY VALLEY). He knew I knew as well. I told my buddy all about it including the fact that I believed our paths would cross again, as they did the night I came equipped to go to trial so to speak against his subtle deceptions.

MATTHEW 24:6

'...for all these things must come to pass..."

I know, he was talking about wars. But this has to happen too. Satan knows what time it is and is out to get as many souls as he can...

Revelation 12:12

Therefore rejoice, you heavens

    and you who dwell in them!

But woe to the earth and the sea,

    because the devil has gone down to you!

He is filled with fury,

    because he knows that his time is short.”

The enemy is going to do everything he can to get as many as he can before his time is up. We ought to be doing everything we can to save as many as we can as well...
