  See this video of Tom Cruise? Well, it's not Tom Cruise. It's AI generated synthetic media that portrays Tom Cruise onto a TikTok user using Deepfakes. Seeing is no longer believing. https://twitter.com/...

  Those Tom Cruise deepfakes on TikTok are deeply unsettling. Let's run them through @sensityai's new deepfake detector tool to see how they do 👇

  This is not Tom Cruise This is a deep fake This probably isn't great news for Cameo https://twitter.com/...

  The threat-vector for deep fakes is not in copy-pasting celebrities (which, easily disavowed and black-labeled) But in creating videos of the believable and sympathetic (and artificial) masses, to be amplified by a credulous media and latched onto by craven politicians. https://t…

  We are woefully unprepared for this. AI safety needs to be bumped up our list of priorities.

  We're probably 12 months away from deep fakes being indistinguishable from real videos, and after that I have no idea what happens. https://twitter.com/...

  For you legal types: Is there anything Tom Cruise or anyone else can do if their face is being used in this way? https://twitter.com/...

  I remember the tens of articles on voice-based social engineering attacks (someone calling pretending to be the CEO asking for an urgent bank transfer, say). Imagine with video-based social engineering. Especially without a built-in way to verify who's joining that Zoom meeting. …

  Great news for avatar providers like @genies who would be in a position to offer celebrity clients private key custody as a way to authenticate online content? 🤔 https://twitter.com/...

  Very good thread here https://twitter.com/...

  Deepfakes are a serious problem and our society isn't really for it. This will make misinformation a much bigger problem. https://twitter.com/...

  Thread “Deepfakes are vastly used for targeted harassment of women.” https://twitter.com/...

  How long before we get a TikTok filter that is a deepfake filter that allows anyone to be a specific celebrity? https://twitter.com/...

• @psythor James O'Malley on x

  Tweeting this just in case I'm right: Those Tom Cruise deepfakes are real Tom Cruise and it's a publicity stunt for... something. https://twitter.com/...

  Reality has no meaning. https://twitter.com/...

  Tbf people have been putting Tom Cruise's face on to naughty effect since 1996 https://twitter.com/...

• @realsexycyborg @realsexycyborg on x

  Good news for sex workers- they can claim everything is a DeepFake. I think if any decent pornographic ones of me were released I'd use chaff countermeasures and release thousands of low-quality ones via bot to obfuscate plausible ones in search results. https://twitter.com/...

• @rupertmyers Rupert Myers on x

  Impressive deep fake: the law & society is going to have to catch up to allow people to easily stop these sorts of videos from being made and shared https://twitter.com/...

• @briansolis Brian Solis on x

  So, how are we all feeling about #deepfakes becoming more and more of an everyday reality? Considering that people can't even tell the difference between journalism and conspiracies...🤔 “Shockingly Real Tom Cruise Deepfakes Are Invading TikTok” https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...

  Are we sure it's not Mission: Impossible DeepMask technology? 🎭 https://twitter.com/...

• @chrismessina Chris Messina on x

  The Tom Cruise #DeepFakes demonstrate what will become a commonplace technique in which human actors play the part but are skinned to look like someone else. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... #AvatarLand #DeepTomCruise

• @charlesarthur Charles Arthur on x

  It's the voice acting, and the switching from grin to not-grin, that's so impressive: the deepfakery is excellent but so is all the rest. https://twitter.com/...

• @rachelmetz Rachel Metz on x

  when i tried @sensityai's deepfake detector on still images, it was right every time (i'm told in tests it's about 98% accurate). but the impressive tom cruise deepfakes on tiktok? it couldn't catch any when @JaneLytv ran them through. if that doesn't make you nervous, it should.…

  Deep fakes are getting scary good and taking over TikTok. Every public figure should just be on there with a verified account - even if they don't want to make content - to make it easier to identify their fakes. Here's Tom Cruise: https://twitter.com/...

• @marcosalvi Marco Salvi on x

  Despite being done with an actor/impersonator one can still tell this is fake but we're fast approaching the point where most can be fooled, even without a huge budget behind it. https://twitter.com/...

• @ajitpai Ajit Pai on x

  If you needed confirmation that deepfakes are no longer Mission: Impossible, check out this one depicting Tom Cruise. #AI H/T @morgfair https://twitter.com/...

  Video evidence is now dead. It can no longer be trusted. Congrats to the govt agencies everywhere on not adequately preparing for this very foreseeable eventuality which many of us have been trying to warn about. https://twitter.com/...

  Welp! The convincing deepfakes have arrived. Not difficult to imagine how this could cause chaos in politics. https://twitter.com/...

  Tom Cruise instead of Nicholas Cage. Lame https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...

  maybe deepfakes will get so real that photo/video won't mean anything and we'll just have to revert back to seeing things with our own eyes to believe them https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...

  This is very weird and disturbing! https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...

  Have a look at this to convince yourself that the era of video-being-evidence is over. If your boss tell you to transfer $10m during the video-call, do not. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
