    The example where an interview of a victim of Hurricane Ciaran, originally in French, was deepfaked to be speaking English, was pretty scary. Some people will think that it’s just for convenience, but for me, it’s a step too far down the slippery slope. If they were to do the same for a politician, a slight nuance in how a phrase was translated could change everything.

      It’s only a matter of time till someone moves a stock market for profit with a deep fake. If it hasn’t happened already.

      Yeah for any sort of interviews I’d rather they kept the current convention of using a voice over, often after a 1-2 second clip of the original audio. It’s obvious that it’s a translation done by the media and not the exact original words of the source

        a leaky abstraction is better because it reveals what is actually happening. That is better to me too. Heck I worry about the voice-overs giving an unfair or inaccurate version of what is being said.
