Few days ago I've seen an ad for a realistic looking extra finger, you attach it to one of your other finger so that you have an extra finger sticking out. Then when someone makes real incriminating photo of you you point out that extra finger and say it's ai generated.

Someone is going to troll civilization with an AI service that produces incriminating deep fake photos's, security videos, event stubs, receipts, chats, and suspicious crypto currency transfers, all telling compelling tales of motive, opportunity and means.

Preemptively plant evidence to frame anyone you want for any crimes you plan to commit. I hear police departments love cases where they can efficiently dispense looking for alternative suspects. But leave a dozen backup suspect shaggy dog crumb trails just in case. Judicial system take that!

I have no idea where deep fakes are taking us, but if we don't get a cryptographic proof of provenance, location (proof of network latency) and time stamp system working soon for all "evidence", journalistic photos, questionable selfies, nights alone at home nowhere near any crime scene, things are going to get very crazy.

Sixth finger! Sixth finger! Man, alive! How did I ever get along with five ?

(a song from a 60s toy ad. the sixth finger had invisible ink, a dart gun, the usual spy stuff)

Nice, personnally I like to wear glasses with glitchy edges.

That ad was a joke, admitted by it's author.

That said, this defense would not save you for a bunch of reasons.

If it's dumb but it works, it's not dumb.

[thfuran]

That's not a very good rebuttal to the claim that it doesn't work.

> [...] a bunch of reasons

No everyone would classify this as a valid or persuasive rebuttal.

I'm not ashamed to say that it would have been likely to convince any jury that I'm on.

Pretty easy to photoshop that out, but then you say "Nope, I wore an extra finger"

[dheera]

Why not just a shirt with some gibberish printed on it? Seems like it would be more convenient than an extra non-functional finger.

But the AI will remove the tshirt….

why not just wear googly eyes?
