It is like any disease test (false positives in covid test), or fake news detection(mistakes in snopes.com) . We are gonna have an arms race between detectors and evaders. It occurs in all areas, deepfake is just one of them.

The current detector uses blood movement to tell if it’s human. Current deepfake technology cannot fake natural episodic blood movement, it takes a long way to go for fake authentic blood movement that is indiscernible to human eyes.

The excerpt from the previous link “”” assessing what makes us human— subtle “blood flow” in the pixels of a video. When our hearts pump blood, our veins change color. These blood flow signals are collected from all over the face and algorithms translate these signals into spatiotemporal maps. “””

Mate, AI will not solve all problems. You can expect it to take years until there is an AI capable of working on these problems. Biology/Medicine is a very AI unfriendly field because it is very expensive and time consuming to generate test data thus it is very difficult to train AI models.

Think about the GPT models, they have millions if not billions of examples. On the other hand, a simple cell line takes 6 weeks to grow, then sone time to perform experiments, then some for data analysis.

Even if there were 100k people (which is a generous estimate) working on this problem and we assume a generous 10 weeks per experiment and that all experiments are successfull there will be 520k experiments a year. That is such a massive overestimate and still not enough for a really powerful AI tool.

Firstly, there's a pretty high bar to meet in that we are pretty heavily programmed to recognize human beings. Any little bit off of what we expect in facial movements or body language and we start to get perturbed.

Secondly, why program a human when you can program a robot that is function fit for its individual task? We don't really have a use for robots that can adapt and survive and make tools for use in multiple environments, we tend to use robots for very specific work and just make new types of robots better specialized for new environments.

It gets exponentially more expensive with every new function and situation you program a single robot to handle.

​

TL:DR; Lack of will, lack of use-case, lack of ability.

How's that different from any Star Trek episode where a crew member goes to the holodeck and instructs the Enterprise's computer to build a program?

It's not inventing a program, it's completing a command using the information stored in its programming, according to the rules set by its programming. It codes because its trained-on terabytes of code that perform task. When you ask for code that does that task it's just retrieving that information and altering it somewhat based on the rules that dictate its response. Unlike humans however, it's not compelled to design a program that does anything without being prompted.

With the first nuke they actually did the calculations to make sure it wouldn't ignite the atmosphere. On the other hand we don't even know how to begin aligning AI and many people in the field think the preliminary calculations show it will destroy us if we fail to do so.

We're conscious. Subjective experience is magical. The experience of emotions is magical. Being aware of experience is magical. If that isn't magical to you, then...sucks to be you. What is even the point of existing? You might as well just go through the motions until you die.

There is no evidence at all that AI is conscious.
