We are coming to a point where it will be difficult, if not impossible to tell what is real from what is AI generated, including the video. There will be real videos claimed a fake, and fake videos claimed as real.

An old saying I like is, "The best protection to reputation is to live above reproach." In other words live in such a way, that when you are portrayed in a way that run counter to your well established reputation and character, people will know it is fake.

I'm hoping the Radar Gun\Radar Detector scenario plays out here a bit. You know, where the police come up with a better radar gun, and then a better radar detector is sold. (Sadly in this case I think the same company was making both.) But what I mean specifically in this AI world is that while the Black Hats have a malevolent AI running, the White Hats have a equally powerful beneficent AI to counter bad sister. So rather than people as the main opponent, good sister will be battling bad sister. Could get interesting. If we take anything from the fantastical Star Wars saga, it is that the dark side is more powerful, but in reality we know that the greatest power lies in Truth. (That's a strange statement 'Lies in Truth'.

In the end, we who put our faith in Christ know how the story ends. As humanity intellect is feeble compared to God's, so to is the mind of any AI. A river cannot rise above it's source.

And there's this: https://rumble.com/v3f7lha-5th-generation-war.html (And important message starts at @4:15)

I don't think it's much AI in the video, the voice-over sounds real (though I'm not discounting synth advances in the last few months) and the animation method seems to be "old-fashion" automatically lip synced to a sound file and run through an image morphing setup (Notice how it's only the head area that moves, it's usually an artifact of only the head have the morph mesh).

I rip and synth real people's voices to use as CG voice-overs in hobby projects. Even the most advanced voice synths, as of a few months ago, were detectable as fake by those who know what to listen for.

A high quality animation for sure though, there's lots of neat visuals - A fake lamp to visually explain the shadow angles (which by them selves hints at a light source close by), the overlay of dust in the air and so on.

Edit: After browsing through the videos and looking at how they're produced, I think the audio is synthesized. All the older episodes are clearly synth and I seem to be able to make out some of the typical synth voice crust on episode 1 of the new run.

I have been both anticipating and dreading the day where consumer voice synths are indistinguishable from the real thing. I think we're there now.
