Well, AI has finally arrived and it may very well be as dangerous as everyone predicted it would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AI deepfake videos have become prevalent in the last five years and the results are astounding (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/interactive\/2019\/01\/business\/pentagons-race-against-deepfakes\/\" target=\"_blank\">AI deepfake videos have become prevalent in the last five years and the results are astounding<\/a>. Not only are they of good quality, they can actually fool people into believing what they are seeing is real and not fake.  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jimmy Kimmel is well known for having deepfake videos (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a2Xg-Uov4Bg\" target=\"_blank\">Jimmy Kimmel is well known for having deepfake videos<\/a> on his show, especially featuring TFG, but he promotes them as such. There are other shows and websites that announce that the videos or images are faked and not to be taken seriously. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Jabari Jones YouTube site is a good example (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@jabarijones7749\/videos\" target=\"_blank\">Jabari Jones YouTube site is a good example<\/a>.   But it becomes  incredibly dangerous especially when you consider all the malicious agents around the world, like Vladimir Putin, who would like nothing more than a video surfacing where Joe Biden, Barack Obama or other prominent Democrats say disparaging remarks about certain Americans or other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also AI image generator sites like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"img2go (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.img2go.com\/ai-art-generator\" target=\"_blank\">img2go<\/a> where you can create realistic looking images for free. We tried it out and made our photo-toon for today with the prompt &#8216;homeless Donald Trump begging for money&#8217;. The result was surprisingly good. We&#8217;ve obviously photo-shopped some items, but the look on the homeless man&#8217;s face is authentic (authentic for a fake image, that is ). We couldn&#8217;t have come up with a better reaction to Trump&#8217;s grifting. We people who despise the orange, megalomaniac man child have had that &#8216;just shoot me&#8217; look for the past nine years. We just may use AI more in our photo-toons in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"452\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumphomelessbiblegrifter.jpg\" alt=\"AI Donald Trump, who is also a twice impeached megalomaniac man child, runs his latest grift; hawking bibles and sob stories to the homeless because, you know, they're not suffering enough.\" class=\"wp-image-9066\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumphomelessbiblegrifter.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumphomelessbiblegrifter-300x271.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>AI Donald Trump, who is also a twice impeached megalomaniac man child, runs his latest grift; hawking bibles and sob stories to the homeless because, you know, they&#8217;re not suffering enough.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial Intelligence or AI has become a huge buzzword in the past ten years and rightfully so.
