Hypercinema: Example of synthetic media

Harry Potter by Balenciaga

  • Why do you consider this synthetic media?
    • This Youtuber used several AI-generated platforms to create the whole video.
  • What can you find about how this was made (if you can)? If it’s machine learning based can you find information about the data set used to train it?
    • Chat GPT, Midjourney, Elevenlabs and D-ID
  • What are the ethical ramifications of this specific example (if any)?
    • People started to create another similar AI videos with politician or celebrity(Pope, Trump..)

Morphing images to change the features of an image using adversarial generative networks (GANs), an AI technique.

  • Why do you consider this synthetic media?
    • Morphing video that changes and connects image features using GAN (Generative Adversarial Network)
  • What can you find about how this was made (if you can)? If it’s machine learning based can you find information about the data set used to train it?
    • A GAN that has been trained on 1000 different images judges the characteristics of the images, and then gradually changes and connects the characteristics of the images.
  • What are the ethical ramifications of this specific example (if any)?
    • Privacy of cats

AI-generated Kids

A study has found that giving artificial intelligence (AI) children random videos to watch led to their use of profanity and dismissive language.
