Oh, blimey! Here we go again with these big tech shenanigans! OpenAI, yeah that lot, just threw us a so-called ‘deepfake detector’. Hold your applause though, because it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot. They're sharing this flimsy thing with just a weeny group of disinformation blokes, claiming it’s to help fight the onslaught of fake images messing with elections. Ha!
It's Tuesday, or was it last Tuesday? Either way, OpenAI says it's for "kick-starting new research". Talk about too little too late! Sandhini Agarwal, some big-shot at OpenAI, reckons this is really needed. Needed, sure, about as much as a hole in the head!
Let’s get real here—this tool is like trying to stop a flood with a spoon. The tech wizards admit it's only a "small part" of what’s needed. Small part? More like hardly a part! They really think this puny tool will hold back the tsunami of fake stuff aiming to top over our elections? Pull the other one!
I mean, come on, if I was running OpenAI—I'm not, but if I were—it’d be different. We’d have proper, beefy tools rolling out, not this namby-pamby, dinky detector they've concocted. We’d be smashing those deepfakes left, right, and center. No messing about!
But, alas, it's them, not me. So, we stick to watching these tech titans fumble around while the real stuff goes overhead. Such a palaver! If only they’d get their act together, or better yet, let someone who knows what they’re doing take over. Hint, hint... yours truly, Ronald Trumpet, signing off.
