129. Logic is complete
Due to Meng Fanqi's low-key handling and the fact that the App is only online in China for the time being, there are not many people like Yang Ming in the United States who have discovered that the AI camera App has a function to distinguish between real and fake.
CNN's side of the moral high ground, such as Cafferty, did not expect that his main argument had already been properly resolved by Meng Fanqi.
Their attention was drawn to the new technology of Facebook and Tang Xiaoou's team.
"The latest facial recognition technology has broken through human capabilities, but there is still no way to take this kind of generative fake image!"
It's great and it proves our point. That's what everyone on CNN's side thinks in their hearts.
I don't realize the irony of this thing itself – that they don't care if the technology solves the problem.
In contrast, they are more concerned about how hot their stories are, and their opinions must not be proven wrong.
As for the truth and the solution to the problem, that is not their concern.
The time for the controversy is approaching, and this matter has gained a lot of heat even in China.
The domestic propaganda caliber has basically completely downplayed the crisis of generative content, mainly emphasizing that our technology catches up, Chinese scholars have invented generative technology, and China's Tang Xiaoou team has won the world's first face recognition method.
Meng Fanqi is actually thinking, if he is not Chinese, will he be targeted by CNN?
It's a pity that this question can't be answered.
In such an overall atmosphere, there are many netizens on the scarf who leave messages or private messages to express their support.
Although these supports do not have strong practical significance, they are still of great help to Meng Fanqi on a spiritual level.
A few days passed in a flash, and soon came to the agreed time for both parties.
One of the more interesting things about CNN is that although they have invested a lot of manpower, equipment and technical support, they do not officially recognize this dialogue as an official program.
Nominally, the incident is defined as the private act of CNN commentator Cafferty.
"It's just throwing the pot, and you're invincible." Meng Fanqi glanced at it and probably understood what CNN meant.
If you win a big win after the talk and the response is good, you can increase your publicity and make it look like you have won.
On the other hand, if the conversation collapses, and Cafferty acts like a clown, or if there is an inappropriate remark that angers the public, he immediately brushes himself off, saying that this is just the personal behavior of the commentator and has nothing to do with the station.
It's really intimidating.
At the beginning of the formal talks, the picture is divided into two, and the left Kafferi appears on his bald head, with loose skin and an old appearance.
Meng Fanqi was also speechless for a while, the old man in his seventies was not good at caring for the elderly at home, and he ran out to target the Chinese.
During the 08 Olympics, it was also this old man who danced vigorously, and was boycotted by many Chinese collectives.
The screen flickered, and the right side of the screen showed Meng Fanqi's half-body, but the face was edited by FaceGAN in real time.
FaceGAN currently spends a lot of time adjusting for a certain image, which can have a more realistic effect, but if it is applied to a camera with dozens of frames in real time, it is quite difficult.
When the face is moved, a relatively large flaw is revealed, and it is found that the face has been edited.
Cafferty saw the problem on Meng Fanqi's face at a glance, and he preemptively and aggressively: "Mr. Meng, why do you hide your head and show your tail, and don't dare to show your true face?" Is it a thief's heart? ”
He didn't expect that this was originally a flaw deliberately exposed by Meng Fanqi.
As the inventor of the technology, wouldn't it be clear to him that the current state of the art cannot support real-time facial adjustments at high frame rates?
"Mr. Cafferty could see at a glance that I, the inventor of the technology, were using FaceGAN, and it seemed that identifying generative content at this stage was not as difficult as you suggested. Are you alarmist, or do you think everyone else in the world is far more stupid than you? ”
At present, the quality of FaceGAN has not reached the point where it will bring a huge crisis to the society, and even if it is a very mature face swap technology in the future, there will be many flaws in just one or two minutes.
CNN deliberately exaggerated the effects of generative technology to deduct its own hats, and Meng Fanqi came up and played a trick, leaving them in a dilemma.
Because he had just pointed out the other party's use of generative technology, it was too late to regret it.
After falling into the trap of this matter, he had nothing to say, and after dealing with it casually, he hurriedly changed the topic, trying to occupy the moral high ground in the general righteousness of the country: "Mr. Meng's previous remarks that Americans are immigrants are very irresponsible and absurd. ”
"Isn't it an immigrant?"
"It was we who discovered the American continent."
"Why can a continent that has already been inhabited be [discovered] by you?" Meng Fanqi laughed at this logic: "If I sit across from you at the moment, I think I can [find] your car when I walk out of the studio, I wonder if I can drive it away?" ”
......
After a few more words, Cafferty realized that the situation was not right, and that the style of this Chinese dialogue was not as restrained as most typical Chinese people, but had a set of logic that he thought was crooked, but it was difficult to refute at all.
"Mr. Meng lacks a full understanding of American history and culture, and we can't get any results in debate on these matters." Cafferty first blamed Meng Fanqi for not understanding, trying to bring the topic back to the main idea, the crisis of generative technology.
However, at this time, the eyes of the onlookers were bright, and most of them had already seen that Meng Fanqi had a huge advantage.
"These few words of our Xueba directly dizzy this old man is dizzy."
"Some white skins are shameless, and those who rob others really think they are their own."
"Generative technology is a rather dangerous new approach, and in just a few months since it was proposed, it has already made huge breakthroughs in specific areas." As he spoke, Cafferty vanished as his bust vanished, revealing several extraordinarily beautiful and realistic portraits.
These portraits were all generated by Meng Fanqi's FaceGAN technology.
"I also picked a few of the best ones, I really don't know if I should thank them or what." Meng Fanqi smiled helplessly, the reality is so interesting, people who are hostile to themselves are looking for the best example of their own technical effect, this scene is really absurd enough.
"Neither of the two latest facial recognition technologies can correctly distinguish between these realistic generative contents." While praising Meng Fanqi's technology, Kaffordi looked triumphant, which made Meng Fanqi's heart have mixed feelings, and he didn't know what expression to use: "Even Facebook's latest DeepFace technology, or Hong Kong Chinese's DeepID technology, it's the same!" ”
"We have reason to suspect that this technology will have a serious adverse impact on our lives and rights!"
"The question is, who told you that the latest facial recognition technology can't recognize this generative content?" Meng Fanqi was overjoyed, but it was time for my advertisement.
