One wonders how far back you have to go before an actors voice (or *anyone*) becomes public domain for uses such as these. A currently living actor will likely sue you silly if you use their voice in a for-profit production without their consent. But Sellers died going on 50 years ago. Marylin Monroe, going on sixty. Bogie, more than sixty. Hitler and FDR going on 80*. You probably have to have a sizable number of audio recordings from around the WWII era in order to get a *good* quality clone of their voice, so we're still some time off from when someone copyable has been dead a century.Getting a well-known name to narrate a Warhammer 40K fan film?
"So Reggie, did you really get Peter Sellers to narrate your fan film?"
No. Actually, he died in 1980.

I've seen a recent resurgence in 9-11 Trutherism, with people yapping on about Building 7, trotting out arguments that were debunked twenty years ago. Why bring that up? Because with AI art, photos and videos will begin to appear that support whatever potential position someone might take, with doubtless photos and videos showing that the building were brought down with controlled detonations, hot mike recordings of Bush or whoever talking about how it's a false flag operation. There will soon enough be "just discovered" secretly recorded films of General Eisenhower talking with Truman or Churchill or whoever describing how they are going to invent the Holocaust for political reasons.

But as to what can or should be done about it... dunno. Maybe etch our history into vast slabs of granite or carved onto the face of the moon, the sort of thing that would be difficult to revise. But the time to do that is quickly running out.

That is *EXACTLY* why libraries are vitally important. I'd dearly love to see a script kiddie try to hardware forge a Gutenberg Bible say with Adam, Eve and Sheldon as the original throuple, and try to pass it off as the real thing. Books can easily be dated and collectively provide a verifiable historical record, the occasional piece of accidental or deliberate misinformation notwithstanding, at least up to say around the end of the twentieth century, when mass printing crap became way too easy - no need for granite slabs though, really, since they can be forged as well .I've seen a recent resurgence in 9-11 Trutherism, with people yapping on about Building 7, trotting out arguments that were debunked twenty years ago.

That's what I like best about libraries.There were a number of cases with books where I was looking for something specific and stumbled across something else of interest on the shelf nearby.
Sadly that's becoming a challenge. i used to cross the continent two or three times a year, and at least once a year stopped in the engineering library at the university in Boulder, Colorado. Long stacks of aerospace goodies. I lived there in the late 90's and started at one end and didn't quite get to the end before I moved away. So... now and then I'd stop in and spend a few hours continuing the process.That's what I like best about libraries.There were a number of cases with books where I was looking for something specific and stumbled across something else of interest on the shelf nearby.
While this is certainly true, the level of evidence presented was often poor enough that those uninvolved could easily discount the claims. But a lot of people bought into Nessie and Bigfoot and UFOs because a few *crappy* photos were faked. In recent years CGI and photoshop have made passable photos and videos of such things, good enough that reasonably sane people are regularly taken in. Soon AI will vomit forth *tsunamis* of utterly believable videos of any damn wacky thing you can imagine. The common culture will be inundated with masses of crap that overwhelm reasonable skepticism.People were already able to believe in anything before AI

And yet people do, and will. And that's without utterly believable video evidence.
Right now if a criminal case includes a clear CCTV shot of the suspect Doing The Thing, everyone involved will likely believe what they're seeing is accurate. In a few years, though, doubt will be sown over whether the video is real or was cooked up by the prosecution down in the DeepFakeLab. And in some case,s the video *will* be fake, and a lot of people will believe it.

There is another side to the coin. People acting as crap detectors. There is no need to succumb to the 'next big thing.' As if passive viewing and beliefs are givens. Those who see the potential of this - for bad - will call out the bad and the fake. As far as large data feeds, it doesn't matter. There are still 24 hours in a day and of that time, minus eating and sleeping, not much time to consume the next crap-fest.

In my opinion the consequences of the two sides of the coin working together can produce a humanity more intelligent, more cynical, more invulnerable to advertising, propaganda, religion, more free to make its own decisions, although not necessarily more responsible. Something good could come out of all this.
No, Hallmark will be using AI soon.Yesterday I used ChatGPT to write a couple of songs, one for me on my birthday and one for a long time friend of mine. The results were not bad. When I showed them to my friend, her first comment was Hallmark will be out of business soon.
Time for AI to step up:
Hollywood writers go on strike after contract negotiations fail
Are chatbots up to scripting whole shows? Probably not. Not yet. But there is a clear and obvious starting point:
Hollywood strike: Late night comedy shows to go dark as writers' walkout begins
These shows haven't been funny in *years,* so putting not-quite-ready AI in the drivers seat there seems a good compromise.

Yup. The only opinion that matters on whether or not I think a show is good: mine. And I've not seen a late night show that was worth watching in well over a decade.
