Video proof. A random middle aged guy mocaps the actors from Stranger Things. There's no real way to argue this is fake, as he obviously didn't get the actors to sit down for his video.
Currently the tech does not convert appearance in real time a la vtubers, so livestreaming is out, but I wouldn't be surprised if that advancement happens soon. Voice changing is no problem either, although most people know that already.
Fake Instagram e-girl accounts using still photos have been out there for a little while. Not sure how prevalent they are because the IG influencer scene is more dependent on video these days, but looks like that's solved now!
So at this point, a random dude is fully capable of starting a youtube career as a cute girl talking about video games, tech, rockets, cars, or all the other areas of interest where women are unicorns. Honestly, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. It feels like e-girls and other women on the internet making a living off simpbucks are about to be scabbed and robbed worse than Microsoft employees under Satya Nadella. Best of luck to any of you taking the plunge, and I'm seriously saying that. It's about time that tech investments transfer wealth from women to men, rather than the other way around.
Real life hasn't gone anywhere and won't be going anywhere. Reality itself will never be able to be 'edited' by editing the content of our screens. Watching videos of people, be they 'real' or clearly fictional has never been 'reality'. It's always been, at best, an attempt to capture reality. Yet even what purports to be 'real' has always been an attempt to portray a certain picture, image or world to us. Actual real life is out there in our lives in the real world. It always has been and always will be.
The rise of the ease to create 'real-life' videos means there are two clear options. We can remind ourselves that what is on our screens is not reality, and we always remember to keep our distance from it so it doesn't take over our real lives, beliefs and values. Or we can choose to fully embrace this fictional reality and live in this fictional world, and have our lives ultimately controlled by those who create these fictional worlds.
In other words, we can choose to live in the actual reality God created and controls. Or we can choose to live in a fictional reality that man creates and controls.
Ok, if we're being too literal, why are you online right now?
