“We have no plans to release an online demo, API, product, additional implementation details, or any related offerings until we are certain that the technology will be used responsibly and in accordance with proper regulations.”
That's basically "never" then, so we'll see how long they hold out.
Scammers are already using the existing voice/image/video generation apparently fairly successfully. :(
But knowing that this is possible is important to know.
I'm fairly clued in, and am constantly surprised at how fast things are changing.
Who knowing this is possible?
The general elderly person isn't going to know any time soon. The SV IT people probably will.
It's not an even distribution of knowledge. ;/
Like somebody on Ars noted "anybody notice it's an election year?" You don't need to release an API, all online videos are now suspicious authenticity. Somebody make a video of Trump or Biden's eyes following the mouse cursor around. Real videos turned into fake videos.
