johnb820 Posted October 10, 2022 Posted October 10, 2022 Are any of you familiar with these? It is software that can be used to fake someone's likeness or voice. In so far as I am aware, it seems that pictures of people are scraped from the internet and are used as a template for generating fake images. Now for a very long time I have been careful not to share a picture of myself on the internet, but I am pretty sure there is an unlikely source of images the AI scrapes, that being your emails. I had at one time emailed soundcloud support a picture of my ID to get my old soundcloud account recovered. They requested the picture so I sent it. They never actually replied to the email and the email just sat in my sent folder on protonmail. Two days ago I decided to delete that email and now I do believe there is no longer a picture of me for the deepfake software to make use of. My employer has a scan of my ID and a photo for my badge, but the general public should have no means of deepfaking me. Quote
Veracohr Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Seems to me like your level of concern should be linked to the likelihood that your image would be used for a deepfake. Are you famous? Is there a particular reason your image would be used over someone else’s? Quote
