Tom cruise tik tok3/17/2023 We make deepfakes as much as we can be made into a deepfake. You may feel like you still own your pictures, but the internet rapidly subsumes things into itself and so do we as users of the internet, which make it manifest. While a company probably won’t be making deepfakes out of your personal photos, there’s nothing from stopping somebody else from doing that, as we upload more and more content to these platforms. In theory, yes, of course, you own your own likeness that’s your face but if you’ve ever signed a “Terms and Conditions” release for a social media company like Facebook in the past, you may now know that that isn’t the case: you signed away your rights to Facebook for the use of your pictures, your likeness, and you probably didn’t even notice at the time. Their reach extends far beyond the entertainment industry and actors though they reach us too, forcing us to contend with questions like: do you own your own likeness? It’s a very simple question and the answer should be obvious, but like everything in this modern world, it’s anything but.

If this reality were to become true (and it’s becoming truer every day), you could essentially remake any movie with the actors you want to see in it you could be the star of your favorite movie the possibilities are almost endless.Įverything that you ever imagined could be made real, represented as an image, whether that image was technically real or not, but what would it matter if you could see whatever you wanted (we’ll get into that later)? Technology ostensibly has the power to shape our world and make it fairer, more connected, and more immersive, at least according to tech-utopians, but the opposite sentiment could also be true: technology makes the world more biased, more fragmented, and more disassociated. Still, maybe for others, it’s a bit of both? As we become more technologically savvy, and every day we are becoming more technologically savvy, there’s absolutely no doubt that deepfake technology will improve and improve exponentially, maybe to the point where anybody actually could create an entirely convincing deepfake, as easy as selecting an image of a person and dropping it into the video you want them to appear in and letting some app’s AI take care of the rest like it’s a Snapchat filter.
