Dead Internet Theory - Everyone in this video is AI generated

Inspired by the recent financial crime incident, where hackers held a video meeting with AI generated video of employees, I decided to make a video call-esque type generation to see how convincing it could be.

There are better ways to do this but for speed and resources i just used stable diffusion, with SVD and flow frames to produce short video clips ranging from 2 to 14 seconds in length which i then pieced together.

The output is not that impressive if your up to date on the latest technology, but still shows what can be achieved, if you had shown me these videos a few years ago, i wouldn't of though it was possible.

If you can tell that most of these videos are fake, then wait a couple months, if you cant tell, then welcome to the future.

Your voice is probably also generated. Which makes it even funnier on a meta-level. Or its not and now we start assuming everything is generated, so people will start pointing out small flaws in your voice which shows you're a human. But these flaws were generated in order to be perceived as a human.

Is this why I can never get anyone to meet for a date 😂😂😂

Could you throw a “bad camera quality” noise filter over some of the better examples here where the camera angle and position is static, add compression artifacts on top, and reduce the frame rate to 12 fps?

I bet it would make something extremely believable.

I'm certain this is all "For the greater good" and "For our safety."

The secret is the hair line. None of them had a normal hair line. Also the eyes still have centering issues.


A.I. is not perfect nor ever will be. But humans can adapt to any obstacle including machine learning.

This shit is so creepy man

Remember reading about this theory before AI really took off in the early 2010s

This aint a theory its true

[Mraura-antony]

Your voice is AI

Give it a few more years it will become less recognizable

[MrZReacts]

Wow…. Just like everything els. no longer a conspiracy. more real then fake.

[LarryShakir-os]

If those are not real human beings then must be demons in disguise

“I wouldn’t of though”. Maybe, just maybe, try with AI generated text as well next time.

Dont be afraid of your own shadow. Dont change the mirror, change your face.

[SirPheobis]

Watching a video is not "seeing", we have been in a world where believable gerenated video has been around for quite a while. The only difference is now we can make these images from scratch.

[MixArt-]

So what if it appears real and all of the humans on earth cant tell the difference. Why on earth would the creator of this think it would somehow upend itself. There is no power oiutside of your decree. Fear not.

AI image gen can currently only do still images and make them animate somewhat. AI doesn't understand what things are the way we do, which is why it'll take well over a decade.
