If you liked fake news, you'll love fake video

It's all fun and games if you get to pretend you're watching Emma Watson doing hot g/g action. Not so much when a vindictive ex photoshops you into the middle of a heroin deal.

In a dank corner of the internet, it is possible to find actresses from Game of Thrones or Harry Potter engaged in all manner of sex acts. Or at least to the world the carnal figures look like those actresses, and the faces in the videos are indeed their own. Everything south of the neck, however, belongs to different women. An artificial intelligence has almost seamlessly stitched the familiar visages into pornographic scenes, one face swapped for another. The genre is one of the cruelest, most invasive forms of identity theft invented in the internet era. At the core of the cruelty is the acuity of the technology: A casual observer can’t easily detect the hoax.
This development, which has been the subject of much hand-wringing in the tech press, is the work of a programmer who goes by the nom de hack “deepfakes.” And it is merely a beta version of a much more ambitious project. One of deepfakes’s compatriots told Vice’s Motherboard site in January that he intends to democratize this work. He wants to refine the process, further automating it, which would allow anyone to transpose the disembodied head of a crush or an ex or a co-worker into an extant pornographic clip with just a few simple steps. No technical knowledge would be required. And because academic and commercial labs are developing even more-sophisticated tools for non-pornographic purposes—algorithms that map facial expressions and mimic voices with precision—the sordid fakes will soon acquire even greater verisimilitude.
The internet has always contained the seeds of postmodern hell. Mass manipulation, from clickbait to Russian bots to the addictive trickery that governs Facebook’s News Feed, is the currency of the medium. It has always been a place where identity is terrifyingly slippery, where anonymity breeds coarseness and confusion, where crooks can filch the very contours of selfhood. In this respect, the rise of deepfakes is the culmination of the internet’s history to date—and probably only a low-grade version of what’s to come.

Can't wait to see Black Mirror do an episode on this topic

Well that would put police body cams out of action pretty fast. Right along with all the cell phone witness videos. We are going to be back to juries having to judge witnesses based on their testimony.

Okay.
Okay.

When someone finds out what the OP is talking about, let me know.

thanks for the wall of text; both your summary and the original article.
not a pic or screengrab to provide context was found.

Just wait until they hack DNA sites like 23andMe and start printing fake DNA evidence to leave at crime scenes to corroborate the fake video.

My publicists have been made aware of this disturbing trend.

So you're telling me that wasn't really shaggy and Velma I just watched?

It's actually very terrifying.
Video is kind of the last mostly full proof method of evidence left (except DNA of course), and it's about to be obsolete.
