VASA was developed by Microsoft, but it hasn't been released. Heaven help us if and when they do release. Imagine this. You take a picture of a face and add any audio text to it. the face moves and speaks the text file perfectly. They tried it with a drawing of a Japanese face speaking Japanese. Although MS did not train it to speak Japanese, it performed perfectly. As an added feature, you can specify serious, happy, concerned, or angry. If this becomes available, we will never be able to believe what we see and hear.

I have a feeling it will get worse.

Is the only way to avoid all of this . . . to literally move to "the woods" and cut off connection with mankind as we know?

I kinda like it. Very interesting technology, notwithstanding the problems caused by a good AI application. I would imagine that this VASA ain't gonna be free. Wonder how much the Microsoft "gods" are gonna charge?

Absolutely!!! It will be virtually impossible to verify anything coming out of the mouths of an AI rendition.

I HATE AI! You are right, Jerry-----we will never be able to believe what we see.

Sure is. It's already bad enough. No telling how much grief it will cause.
