Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

On Tuesday, Microsoft Research Asia unveiled VASA-1, an AI model that can create a synchronized animated video of a person talking or singing from a single photo and an existing audio track. In the future, it could power virtual avatars that render locally and don't require video feeds—or allow anyone with similar tools to take a photo of a person found online and make them appear to say whatever they want.

So fascinating yet so scary to realize how quickly can AI take over. A few minor tweaks here & there and it will be hard to know if the video you are watching is fake or not.

Nah it's actually pretty obvious if you know where to look.

Watch the "person"s teeth as they talk. Warning: it actually can be kinda gross once you are watching for it.

For now you can tell. Next year you may not be able to.

Every month for the last year, they have made more progress in AI than they thought they'd make in the next couple of years combined, and the rate of progress is accelerating. It's coming much sooner than anyone thinks.

It's weird to always see these dismissals about how easy it is to pinpoint generated media, like we haven't already seen an insane jump in ability in just the last year. There is no future where this tech doesn't start to become a problem with its realism, and personally I think it's much closer than most seem to think it is.
