“Since the quality of AI deception and the ways you can do it keeps improving and shifting this is an important element to keep the policy dynamic as AI and usage gets more pervasive or more deceptive, or people get more accustomed to it,” Mr Gregory said.
He added focusing on labelling fake posts would be an effective solution for some content, such as videos which have been recycled or recirculated from a previous event, but he was sceptical about the effectiveness of automatically labelling content manipulated using emerging AI tools.

Are there any social scientists on lemmy? Have we actually studied the effects of labeling misinformation as opposed to removing it? Does labeling misinformation actually stop it from spreading and being believed, or does it reinforce conspiratorial thinking? This is not a rhetorical question - I genuinely don’t know.
I’m not a social scientist, but it’s a mixed bag. Here are the top results from Google Scholar:
One thing we know for certain is that handing the government the ability to mandate control over our information flow is one of the primary tools by which fascism took hold in mid-20th century Europe.
Okay.
Someone do one on Zuckerberg and get it on the platform! Pronto!
What fake video?
Where’s the god damn video?
Democrats always lose because they fight with one arm behind their back while the Republicans use fire.
Meta is not going to do the right thing. Fight fire with fire and make deepfakes of Trump too and all his ilk
Doesn’t even need to be deepfakes. They’re already that awful,
Yeah, you can show Maga morons actual videos of Trump committing crimes or admitting to them, and rhey will brush it off. Comedians have been doing this for a while at rallies. It’s not so funny lately, since they’re winning in current polls.
Fuck polls.
No, let’s pay attention to them, and vote like it matters.
Polls indicate that Democrats need to move left in order to win. Democrats would rather lose.
No you make videos of Trump saying he wants open boarders. Or that we need to raise taxes. Or police need to be de-funded. Things that are awful to his voters.
If they don’t believe he said things to them live, and in person… it doesn’t matter. They won’t believe anything negative anyway.
This isn’t for the die hard trumpers, it’s for the people who are actually persuadable; and lying about it… is just going to fuel the fake news narrative.
We don’t have to be dishonest, he’s awful enough, so why shoot yourself in the foot with it?

Bad idea. Moderates would then see him as a moderate candidate.
By making deepfakes saying he’s for things moderates oppose?
Moderates, by definition, don’t oppose anything strongly, or they wouldn’t be moderates.
They oppose progressives very strongly indeed. They never oppose conservatives or fascists in any meaningful way.
Then we use the same term to refer to different groups.
Someone who opposes a progressive strongly is a conservative. Some conservatives call themselves moderates because they know a large percentage of women won’t fuck conservatives.
Do they care though? They went from “Russia is the greatest evil threat” to “Putin is our friend, why dont you let him conquer Europe?” In just a few years.
Dementia Donnie would love nothing more than a flood of fake videos to distract from his actual statements.
This is probably the stupidest take I’ve seen.
Absolutely! I love it!

This exactly. There’s a term for it, something like liars advantage, I can’t remember. Just the existence of deep fakes now gives a shameless politician the ability to yell “deepfake” at any damaging media. Image of the Access Hollywood tape came out today, Trump and his ilk would immediately claim it’s a deepfake. Now imagine if there were dozens of high profile actual deep fakes of Trump before the Access Hollywood tape, it would be that much easier for Trump to discredit it, and all that much easier for voters inclined to support Trump to dismiss it.
Besides, what deepfake is going to sway anyone’s opinion of Trump? After the access Hollywood tapes, jury findings that he sexually assaulted E.G. Carol, fucking lying about the results of the election and fomenting insurrection, and Republicans don’t give a shit, what deepfake is going to tip the scales?
I agree that dems, quite often, well…do things like absolute pussies. But…deep fakes are not the answer.
I agree with the first sentence, not so much the second part. The apathy and lack of fight in Biden’s campaign sucks, it’s like the democrats are defending the title but bringing a pillow to the boxing ring.
