You're not wrong, but it does democratize access to decent depictions of stuff

Talk about exponential growth, can only imagine next year since it seems like it was only yesterday that I even heard of Pika labs:



Pika Labs new generative AI video tool unveiled — and it looks like a big deal
A big upgrade to AI video

(tomsguide)

Generative artificial intelligence company Pika Labs has unveiled its latest model Pika 1.0. This builds on earlier versions and is a significant step up in AI video generation.

Dubbed an "idea-to-video" model, it can produce content in a range of styles and allows for editing existing video clips by painting over objects, people, or even whole scenes.

In a promotional video for Pika 1.0, you see an example of clothing being changed on the fly, the style of the video clip being updated, and even real people such as Elon Musk being depicted as a cartoon character.

This is where synthetic media really takes off, especially if we can tailor even standard 20-30 min videos to our liking not too far out from now.

I heard about it at least one month ago. As I said before it's very easy to lag behind.

Fears UK not ready for deepfake general election

2 hours ago

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already been used to disrupt elections around the world - and there are fears among senior politicians and the security services that the UK will be next.

Former Justice Secretary Sir Robert Buckland is urging the government to do more to tackle what he sees as a "clear and present danger" to UK democracy.

The Conservative MP, who now chairs the Northern Ireland select committee, is particularly concerned about the rise of deepfakes - realistic audio and video clips of politicians appearing to say things they did not say.

The threat posed to democracy by AI-generated misinformation does not belong to some dystopian vision of the future, he argues.

"The future is here. It's happening. Unless the policymakers [in the UK] are showing some leadership on the need for a strong and effective domestic set of guardrails - plus international work - then we are going to be behind the curve."
