Stop developing this technology

[alonsoir]

This technology is only going to be used for evil purposes. To deceive people, steal their money, possessions, undercover operations. Nothing good. It is already being used for scams like the pig-butchering plate, in which hundreds of thousands of lives around the world are being left without money, causing a lot of suffering.

Well, ban cars, weapons, hunting, the Internet, computers. you wrote such nonsense. technology will develop, but without you. on the contrary, it must be developed. it was created for entertainment, and if a person uses it for other purposes, then let him answer for himself, it’s not the technology that’s to blame, but the person, not the machine gun, but the person. learn to recognize technology is my advice to you.

Honestly, i understand you perfectly. I am a software engineer like you people. The problem is creating technology that can be turned into a weapons system in peacetime. This technology is being used by scammers, almost exclusively, then, what more use can there be than pretending to be someone you are not? a joke? What if it is not? What if it serves for someone to impersonate someone important in your family and communicate to the rest that you have died? Or if it serves to authenticate a scammer's access to a mobile? or a foreign agent from a country hostile to the interests of your country? You say that the responsibility is yours because you should be able to recognize that it is a deepfake, and before that I tell you that currently if you have a trained eye and you are alert, it is quickly recognized, as in the example you have given of the Putin video. It is seen to the millisecond that it is not him, but that is because the technology is still at a green point. The uncanny valley will disappear in no time. I speak to you as a victim of a scam of this type of technology. Please, you have family, put yourselves in the shoes of your relatives who know nothing at all about technology. Think of ways to recognize the bad uses of this technology that is not going to bring anything good. It is already destroying the lives of multiple people, every day. I beg you, put your knowledge at the service of good, not evil. Best, Alonso El lun, 21 feb 2022 a las 16:50, nofacedeepfake ***@***.***>) escribió:

I think the whole problem is electricity! It needs to be turned off! This technology could be used to destroy our planet. Think about it.

Sir, I wish you learn the hard way then the misuse of technology. If you are not capable of reflecting in the slightest, you are a cynic who will have to learn the hard way.

In the meantime, know that you have my absolute contempt and you must know precisely what your technology is for. To destroy life and plunge 80-year-old grandfathers and grandmothers into poverty. In your conscience, if you have it, it will remain.

This time it was my parents, tomorrow who knows, it will be theirs, or those of someone they know.

But what the hell, they should have recognized that they are fake faces, right?

Damn it, man. Blaming technology because of a case of scamming? Seriously?

How many people have been scammed by governments, banks, stocks, insurance companies, and so on? How many have been victimized by phone scammers, TV scammers, Internet scammers? Millions? A billion? How many lives have been broken? How many have lost jobs, families and even lives? Was it technology or human nature to blame?

You're talking about global things, citing an isolated case as an example. A drop in the sea. Do you know what % of those who use this technology will use it harmfully? What is the acceptable margin of error? I guess you don't have an answer. You're just looking for guilty.

These are realities of progress And reality is always worse than we think. So it was, and it will be.

Peace.

I am agree with the opositors to this post, technology is not good or evil, it is neutral, people who use technology can use it for good or for evil... if someone blame this technology, why not to blame guns, warships, tanks, airplanes, shotguns, machineguns before blaming this technology? I think a gun is more dangerous than this technology, and if someone use a gun, a tank or this technology to comite crimes then he or she should be judged in a court and put in jail, not the creator of this technology... and I am not agree this technology will be used only for evil, It can be used also in art projects, in the cinema, in the industry of entretainment... I have artistic projects and I personaly use it for it... this technology toguether with other technologies can be used to create characters like Alita (in the movie) and do art with it...

Technology is not guilty or inocent, people is guilty or inocent

ok this technology is going to be used for evil but if you are smart you can just not fall for the scams right?
but the responsability is of the user
we should make a religion out of this

Why does it have to be developed? That argument is just progress for the sake of progress, no matter what damage it might do.

Philosophical question. Why should anything be developed at all?
