The #BritishMiracleMeat: the story behind one of the best #TV #hoaxes in history

Terrestrial television may sometimes seem old-fashioned – but this only enhances its ability to tease and surprise its audience. This week, #Channel4 brought back #satire with a bang

The pressure has forced some #researchers to change their approach or step back, even as #disinformation is rising ahead of the #2024election. As #AI makes deception easier & platforms relax their rules on political #hoaxes, industry vets say they fear that young scholars will avoid studying #misinformation.

#AI #GenerativeAI #Hoaxes #Deepfakes: "Users have been using a whole suite of AI tools, including a sophisticated bit of audio cloning software, to make famous figures say and do whatever they want. And these memes—if you can even call them that anymore—are both higher tech than anything we’ve ever seen before and also part of a decades-long tradition going all the way back to the first internet users who powered up Photoshop to make memes about former President George W. Bush getting a shoe thrown at his head.

But as these tools become more sophisticated, the line between art project, meme, political cartoon, and elaborate hoax blurs more and more. They also push us further into a brave new world where all of those things essentially become the same thing, no matter how much confusion it creates."

I remember the Milli Vanilli scandal very well, because a young co-worker was heartbroken when the news broke. She absolutely adored them.

Something the article mentions that I didn't know was that German-Caribbean disco/funk group Boney M. (Ma Baker, Rasputin, Rivers of Babylon etc.) was also a "fake" group by the same producer as Milli Vanilli. #music #MilliVanilli #BoneyM #hoaxes #popmusic
