Yes, but until then we have good reasons to believe that they are correct.

So you’re basically saying, why won’t we throw all that we know and validated by experiments throughout the last century and just do some magic because AI will figure it out. Why ask the question then? Why do you care what anyone else says? Why did you post this?

basically they paste a full face onto another face. even if they do it convincingly there are still some issues around the exterior of the faces, so past the eyebrows etc. if it was a painting, look between the framing and the face. there will be something that doesn't look quite right. is this case, look for the hairline and the eyebrows. if something between those look a bit odd. it might be fake. i know it may seem vague but once you catch it, you'll understand what i mean.

Laws of physics can change or new ones be added. Its just a set of rules humans set in physics, but that's only based off of the physics that humans know now. Once AI comes in, all kinds of new knowledge about physics come in, developing new knowledge, and changing our own laws of physics/modifying them. So according to our current laws of physics, a shrink ray might be impossible, but with how intelligent AI would become, it could find and learn new physics that we're not even close to, then possible from that.

I think we'd have to figure out worm holes first and ways to transport matter

No, you can’t effectively shrink anything without crushing it. The atom is like 90% empty space, but it is maintained by nuclear forces. To shrink it you need to actually crush things with suck force that it effectively destroy anything. There are places in the universe where these forces are overcome but these places are rather extreme. Like centers of stars, where overcoming the nuclear forces starts the fusion reactions.
Nature does not allow for “shrinking”.

Well deepfake is limited to what the video clip or the person that was used was doing. AI will be able to generate images that are other wise impossible, in the future, likely extreme detail.

Comments that read like dry toast without butter are written by bots.
You would be behooved to learn that sooner rather than later.

Unless our physics is wrong, then no. You can't just compact something and have the same structure.

Yes.
The question is how long. 1000 years, or 10 years, too early to tell.
But eventually yes, as long as it’s scientifically possible.

That's not really comforting, given humanity's tendency to "go with the crowd." Does it matter if the crowd is fake, if the fake crowd can manipulate people into believing falsehoods, because "so many people can't possibly be wrong?"
We saw this with chain emails back in the day those were a big thing. Using bots on social media to boost the visibility of something is just the newest version of that.

We will need paid subscriptions to thought-transference sevices. Every stray thought and daydream could be billed. Stop thinking and save money, hey?

Fancy watches will be the 'underground' versions, for miscreants who dare not allow being tracked via an implanted commo device.

I think it’ll come regardless. Corporations will be taxed to keep social services running. More people will end up needing social services because they’re not working. Shelters, food banks, unemployment etc. UBI as a social service is just the next step.

Probably.
Although I personally find it funny that this basically thrusts us back to the early days of the internet where no one ever trusted anything. Or at least you weren't supposed to trust anything. And people not trusting what they see / read on the internet is probably a net positive for the world.

I got one of myself on my YouTube channel and subreddit. I used it to speak in a Glasgow Scottish accent.
