Future Use

There could be many potential uses for this technology in the future. For example, if the technology gets good enough, you could make videos of dead people to be able to remember them, or you could use the technology to make movies faster and cheaper by just having the technology make the actors say lines or do certain things. For example, Rebecca Roberts said that “the likelihood of indistinguishably lifelike digital clones also increases. Today, a phone call with a deceased loved one is not entirely out of the question.” (Roberts, 2023) This statement just highlights one of the many possibilities for how this technology can be used in the future. Just imagine being able to have a conversation with a deceased relative or friend. Some type of version of this already exists, with the main caveat being that the person in question needs to provide many of the details, but in the future, you may just need a few audio clips and access to a person's social media and/or online presences as everything moves online. Some other potential uses of deep fake technology could be in making videos and movies, where instead of having to green screen a person in a video or movie, they could just use deep fake technology to digitally add them in. In the case of movies and videos , since you would not need all the people to be at the location, you would just need enough footage of the person along with enough audio so that you could realistically recreate them. This could allow for more fluent transitions and edits in videos and movies, so that the quality could improve while also decreasing the time it would take to produce them.
