While many think technology has helped generations of people with knowledge and information, the powers that be find ways of technology to control your life, viewpoint and actions while distracting you with entertainment and foolishness. They have devise a massive plan to control all viewpoints of perception with AI. AI will frame a person, introduce you to fabricated victims and show their story the way they want it. The future is scary as the next stages of White Supremacy begins.

AI is being used to reenact your facial expressions to either hurt or damage your credibility. Don't be surprised your statements are changed and put your every word out of context in real time.

We present a novel approach for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). The source sequence is also a monocular video stream, captured live with a commodity webcam. Our goal is to animate the facial expressions of the target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated output video in a photo-realistic fashion. To this end, we first address the under-constrained problem of facial identity recovery from monocular video by non-rigid model-based bundling. At run time, we track facial expressions of both source and target video using a dense photometric consistency measure. Reenactment is then achieved by fast and efficient deformation transfer between source and target. The mouth interior that best matches the re-targeted expression is retrieved from the target sequence and warped to produce an accurate fit. Finally, we convincingly re-render the synthesized target face on top of the corresponding video stream such that it seamlessly blends with the real-world illumination. We demonstrate our method in a live setup, where Youtube videos are reenacted in real time.
Changing of Night/Day/Time of Day ....With this technology AI can help Police/Law Enforcement fabricate their dirt by changing the enviroment around you. Don't expect body or dash-cams to show you proof of lies on their end. Expect AI to take over and the demons to fill in the story-line.

Fake Celebrities but also fake people
When a mass casualty event happens again, best believe this has been or can be used. A black celebrity or athlete accused of rape, this AI can create a victim out of thin-air.
Nvidia's AI machine generates fake faces from celebrity images
A new artificial intelligence created by Nvidia recently spat out a wild diversity of fake faces after researchers fed it thousands of real celebrity photos.
The graphics chip company is currently experimenting with a new method of training AI to generate novel faces using real photos. Nvidia researchers published their somewhat creepy results online and submitted them to the International Conference on Learning Representations 2018.
The research team admitted their AI-spawned faces still leave "a lot to be desired," but confidently pointed out that "we feel that convincing realism may now be within reach."
Although their work still awaits review from other AI experts, the researchers were pleased with both the variety of faces their machine generated and the nuanced detail achieved in 1,024-pixel resolution, which can be seen in the video above.
They used an increasingly popular AI training system called a general adversarial network (GAN). The program is fed a massive data set — in this case celebrity photos — and then gets better at creating the desired result (in this case, realistic computer-generated faces) over a period of days or weeks. The "adversarial" component involves pitting two machine-learning programs against one another, with one program "challenging" the other's face creations.
The future applications of rendering realistic looking people — that aren't actually people — seems both potentially useful and unsettling. This is certainly a boon to graphics companies that always need new images of people, perhaps for use in advertising. But it's also important to recognize AI-programs are getting closer and closer to achieving realism in artificial faces; how this might be employed in fake news and other means of deception is unknown — and boundless. For now, though, it's at least given us some really interesting faces to look at.

Breh, no.
