Recently, Xiaolei came across a hot search topic about AI jokes that should not be confused. After reading the content, I felt that the world was becoming more and more magical.
First there is a video titled “206 BC, live surveillance of Hongmen Banquet leaked”. Click on it to see a black and white picture, with time code dancing in the upper right corner. The camera is facing the banquet hall. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are sitting opposite each other drinking, Xiang Zhuang is dancing with his sword, and Fan Kuai is breaking into the tent. Every move is so natural.
Was there surveillance in ancient times? I thought this was the blogger’s creative work, but the results became more and more outrageous. There were real surveillance videos of the Xuanwumen Incident, live videos of Wu Song’s tiger attack, and even Concubine Yang’s daily life in Huaqing Pool were clearly captured.
It has to be said that the threshold for AI creation is now ridiculously low. In the past, the whole job required me to be able to edit, Photoshop, and find materials for a long time before I could produce a work. Now enter a sentence, and AI will immediately generate a video for you in whatever style you want.
AI tricks are endless
The most popular thing now is the ancient surveillance series. Use AI to generate images of historical events, and then put them on surveillance cameras. The black and white image quality, with a little bit of snowflake noise, perfectly replicates the texture of old surveillance.
The first scene of the Hongmen Banquet that became popular, even the small movements of Fan Zeng lifting the jade and the details of Xiang Bo standing up to block the sword were vividly done. The accompanying text “The archaeological team accidentally discovered the Qin Dynasty surveillance hard drive, and after repairing it, it shocked the entire network.” Relying on the pseudo-documentary gimmick and fine picture details, this video quickly received millions of views, igniting the entire ancient surveillance creation track. Many bloggers followed suit. Later, multi-angle surveillance of Qin Shihuang’s enthronement ceremony and Wu Song’s tiger hunt at Jingyanggang appeared, focusing on a complete documentary of ancient life.
There are also many people making jokes in the comment area: No wonder the history book is so full of details and the co-author has a video. Everyone knew it was a whole job and had a great time.
If surveillance in ancient times was still about creative tricks, then Huang Renxun’s second AI innovation took the contrast to the extreme and became instantly popular.
Everyone should know that Huang Renxun publicly admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, and the dispute with industry executive Huang Le caused a lot of controversy. It was originally a business gossip, but netizens paired it with AI and turned it into a rustic romance drama. Various secondary creations emerge in an endless stream, coupled with the ancient Internet line “He controls the global computing power, but can’t control his own heart”, which directly turns the technology tycoon into a rustic male protagonist.
What makes netizens dumbfounded the most is the AI face-changing version of “Trouble Maker”. Netizens synthesized the faces of Huang Renxun and Huang Le into the classic pas de deux clip. On one side is the leather-clad boss who stands at the top of the world’s computing power, and on the other side is the ambiguous stage dance music. The sense of dissonance is overwhelming, and it has exploded on all major platforms in just a few days.
When Xiaolei saw it, he couldn’t help but sigh. Huang Renxun probably didn’t expect that he would work hard all his life to become the godfather of AI, only to be brought back to life by AI in the end.
Thinking about it now, AI jokes have actually penetrated into every corner of the Internet.
There have been classic old dramas that have been magically modified before. In “Journey to the West”, Tang Monk used a navigation system to learn scriptures, Sun Wukong used a drone to explore the way, and Zhu Bajie used a mobile phone to order takeout; in “The Legend of Zhen Huan”, the ladies used smart phones to send messages to each other in the palace battle group. This type of magically modified content relies on the classic IP to bring its own audience base and spreads very quickly. Many people who have never been exposed to the original drama have memorized the AI-adapted version first.
In addition to screen creation, the forms of AI jokes are also constantly being renovated. For example, classic old movies are given funny voiceovers generated by AI, allowing ancient characters to speak authentic Internet buzzwords and jokes in dialects, which creates a sense of contrast; AI is also used to generate outrageous quotes from various celebrities, and paired with the pictures to make short videos, many people can’t help but repost them. There are even bloggers who use AI to generate funny short stories in batches. From copywriting to graphics to dubbing, everything is done by AI, and dozens of them can be produced in a day.Nowadays, there are some AI tricks that can create any content for you as long as it can attract attention.
If everyone knows it’s fake, then of course there’s no problem. But the problem is that now a lot of AI-generated content becomes real after being passed around.
The boundaries between true and false are becoming increasingly blurred
It’s obviously a joke, why is it so easy to confuse the audience? Xiao Lei thinks there are the following three reasons.
First of all, AI generation technology is advancing too fast.The videos generated by AI in the past two years were full of flaws and could be seen to be fake at a glance. Now, whether it is text-generated videos or AI face-changing, character movements and subtle expression changes can be made very natural.
Secondly, I was misled by the creator.Many creators also deliberately use misleading copywriting, such as “precious surveillance leaks” and “freshly dug materials.” Even when many marketing accounts are moved, in order to gain traffic, they deliberately do not mark it as generated by AI.
The more novel and contrasting the content, the higher the completion rate and forwarding rate, and the eye-catching videos generated by AI will be more likely to be promoted to more people. Some videos whose traces of AI annotations have been erased are often not processed until they are widely circulated. At this time, many people have already preconceived ideas and took the content as true.
Finally, most people watch short videos to relax and do not watch them with the mentality of distinguishing between true and false.When I see an interesting video, my first reaction is that I find it interesting, and then I like it and repost it without thinking about whether it is true or not. It’s just a joke anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s fake, just be happy.
This mentality is correct in itself, but as more people spread the word, the fake thing gradually starts to look like the real thing. For groups such as the elderly and children who are unfamiliar with AI, they have no idea that AI can now produce such realistic videos, and they can easily be misled.
What is even more alarming is that police in many places have previously reported cases of AI face-changing fraud. Scammers used AI to change faces to pretend to be relatives and friends of the parties, and defrauded hundreds of thousands in a few minutes. Even public figures are not immune. Some time ago, actor Wu Yue posted an angry post late at night that someone was using AI technology to fake her name to live-stream goods. Many viewers had difficulty distinguishing the authenticity from the fake and were easily misled into placing orders.
Similar situations are no longer an exception. Many senior actors and public figures have had their faces changed by AI and moved into live broadcast rooms for selling goods. Without knowing it, they took the blame for counterfeit products. Different from ordinary creative jokes, this kind of counterfeiting is aimed at making profits. The cost of counterfeiting is extremely low. It only requires a few pieces of public video material to generate a complete set of live broadcasts that are fake and authentic.
The trouble is that such live broadcast rooms often change their accounts and run away after a few days of operation. After consumers are deceived, it is difficult to find the merchants behind the scenes, and they cannot hold accountable the artists who were fraudulently used. The threshold for safeguarding rights is very high. If people continue to use AI to generate fake videos and deliberately spread rumors about accidents and social hot spots, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Having said that, Xiaolei feels that many AI second-generation content has crossed the line.Many AI face transplants directly replace other people’s faces without the consent of the user. Whether it is a public figure like Huang Renxun or an ordinary passerby, this is actually an infringement of portrait rights and privacy.
If someone deliberately puts the faces of classmates or colleagues into strange videos and posts them online casually, it will have a huge impact on the person concerned.
寫到最後
In the past, only professional teams could do video special effects, but now ordinary people can generate creative content with just one sentence. Xiaolei Bibi (ID: xiaoleibbb) thinks this is a good thing in itself.
But this cannot be based on misleading and deceiving.Users need to be more conscious, and the platform needs to do a good job of screening, and not play tricks without a bottom line.
In the opinion of Xiaolei Bibi (ID: xiaoleibbb), technology is not guilty, the key is how to use it. The same goes for AI. It can help us create and improve efficiency, and it can also be used to spread rumors and defraud. In the future, AI technology will become more and more developed, and the content generated will become more and more realistic. When fake content becomes rampant in the future, we will be the ones who suffer.
Entertainment is entertainment, don’t let AI confuse the truth.
