dissociate 00:05 humans from machines but is it really 00:08 the case 00:09 this is what the study reveals using ai 00:11 meta people on dating apps 00:14 as we discussed in the last video it's 00:15 now possible to train an artificial 00:17 intelligence to muddle what beauty is to 00:20 us 00:20 within a couple years the famous saying 00:23 beauty is in the eye of the beholder 00:25 may have to change to beauty is in the 00:27 ai of the beholder 00:29 indeed beauty is something rather 00:31 complex and subjective 00:33 in a recent study researchers showed 00:35 that artificial intelligence analyzing 00:37 your tastes and interests could generate 00:40 personally attractive faces i think you 00:43 will all agree that when you look at 00:44 someone and find the person attractive 00:46 you cannot really explain 00:48 why there may be many reasons involved 00:51 in this decision plus some of these 00:53 reasons may not even be directly related 00:56 to the physique of the person 00:58 it seems like these reasons may all be 01:00 electrical signals 01:01 and chemical mixtures in your brain 01:03 making you feel this way 01:05 if that's the case this data can be 01:07 processed and understood much more 01:09 effectively by a powerful computation 01:11 machine 01:12 then by ourselves of course this will 01:14 only be possible 01:16 considering a super intelligent machine 01:18 with access to all our personal data in 01:20 real time 01:22 such a machine will know even more about 01:24 you than yourself 01:25 able to explain its decision process 01:27 better than you are 01:28 give the exact reasons why this person 01:31 is attractive to you 01:32 and find your perfect match it will use 01:34 data that you don't even have 01:36 access to since it already knows the 01:38 other person 01:39 and won't be affected by temporary bias 01:42 caused by your feelings 01:44 such a google powered machine could 01:46 exist in the future 01:47 as uval noah harari will suggest in his 01:50 amazing book 01:51 homodes this thought probably sounds 01:54 extremely weird or even scary at first 01:57 but you have to consider that many 01:59 things will have to change in our 02:00 society to make this happen 02:02 and we are not even talking about the 02:04 trust issue arising 02:06 with such a technology that we first 02:08 need to face 02:09 anyways is this even a good thing do we 02:12 want an ai to tell us 02:13 what to like or even tell us that we are 02:16 wrong and show us what we really like 02:19 i don't know any of my relatives that 02:21 will enjoy following a super intelligent 02:23 machine 02:23 even if it was proven to know us better 02:25 than we do 02:27 for example such a machine could be 02:29 analyzing you constantly 02:31 including when you are dating someone 02:33 and it will be providing you with your 02:35 true 02:35 feelings regarding your date thus using 02:38 probabilities 02:39 statistics and a lot of data it could 02:42 judge 02:43 your two previous dates and come up with 02:45 the best match for you 02:47 now knowing that it's most certainly the 02:49 best decision for you considering all 02:51 the elements taking into account 02:53 the question is will you follow it 02:55 blindly 02:56 in the meantime researchers are 02:58 analyzing how human-like artificial 03:00 intelligences can be 03:02 most of us are convinced that we can 03:04 dissociate an 03:05 actual human from a machine but is it 03:08 truly the case 03:09 this is what this study reveals using ai 03:12 made up people 03:13 on dating apps indeed it's just like the 03:16 turing test 03:17 but on dating apps sandra bryant and her 03:19 team at unsw sydney 03:22 generated made-up people using 03:24 artificial intelligence to measure 03:25 precisely 03:26 how much of what you see on a person's 03:29 dating profile do you consider real 03:32 before we dive into the crunchy details 03:34 of this exciting research 03:36 let's watch a little overview of what 03:38 they found as it may peak your interest 03:40 as it did for me here are two key 03:43 findings of this study on 1008 singles 03:46 surveyed 03:47 they found that 62 percent of single 03:49 people will swipe right on an ai 03:52 generated dating profile 03:53 and 43 of these respondents said these 03:57 profiles looked real 03:58 this means that approximately half the 04:00 people cannot distinguish an 04:02 ai from an actual human based on a 04:05 person's looked and short description 04:07 of course this survey only represents a 04:10 small fraction of the population 04:11 being only 1000 single people using 04:14 dating apps 04:15 which does not correctly represent the 04:17 overall population 04:19 in their experiment an ai made up person 04:22 looked like this 04:23 well not exactly that will pretty much 04:25 give it away it more of looked like this 04:28 as you can see amy looks like a real 04:30 person and i'm not only talking about 04:32 her appearance 04:33 but even her presence seem real as they 04:36 mentioned 04:37 everything from their faces to their 04:39 words and identities were completely 04:41 constructed by artificial intelligence 04:44 indeed amy has an utterly fake identity 04:48 using a short and original description 04:50 and genuinely answering generic 04:52 questions asked by the dating app 04:54 it's even using humor and imagination 04:57 two things we will not suspect a machine 04:59 to have 04:59 this time soon it's pretty astonishing 05:02 in order to create such humanized fake 05:04 profiles 05:05 they had to achieve two main objectives 05:08 create a real looking profile pictures 05:11 and create a new identity for the farmer 05:14 the team used this person does not 05:17 exist.com 05:18 a website that generates not existing 05:21 people 05:22 randomly when you access or refresh it 05:24 the system uses a method 05:26 called stylegantu published in late 05:29 2019. 05:30 stargand2 and its most recent variation 05:33 sargent ii 05:34 ada are state-of-the-art generative 05:36 adversarial networks or gun 05:38 a gun is a neural network architecture 05:41 able to generate a completely artificial 05:43 image 05:43 following the style of the image it was 05:46 trained on thus replicating 05:48 what it has seen during its training to 05:50 generate new images 05:51 that don't even exist like human faces 05:54 in this case 05:56 here the style of the image can be 05:58 interpreted differently 05:59 in fact it can be adjusted to not only 06:01 replicate the overall style of the image 06:04 which in this case are pictures of human 06:06 faces but also to learn the style of 06:08 local features such as a nose eyes 06:10 hair etc which can also be controlled or 06:13 even randomized 06:14 during the generation process this is 06:17 possible because of the gann 06:18 architecture's power 06:20 where it learns by visually comparing 06:22 the results between the generated images 06:25 and the images that was supposed to 06:27 generate 06:28 such supposed or expected images are the 06:31 ones found in the training data 06:33 before entering into the second part of 06:35 these fake profiles responsible for 06:37 creating the fake identity i would like 06:39 to refer the most technical of you to a 06:41 previous video explaining guns 06:44 this 5-minute video will help you 06:46 understand how it works 06:48 with more technical details using a 06:50 great cartoonify example 06:52 the profiles were then made alive using 06:55 gpt2 06:56 a text generating model developed by 06:58 openai in 2019 07:00 you've undoubtedly heard of his big 07:02 brother gpdt 07:03 well the advantage of using gpt2 is that 07:06 it is open access and quite powerful 07:09 indeed you can try it yourself without 07:11 using a powerful computer or graphic 07:13 card 07:14 just by running the few lines in this 07:16 google collab notebook 07:18 which is linked in the description and 07:20 generate text for 07:22 any task you have data to train on even 07:25 better 07:25 if you don't have any data you can use 07:28 pre-trained models which are models that 07:30 have already been trained 07:31 that you can upload and run right away 07:34 to explain it simply 07:35 gpt 2 works by looking at hundreds of 07:38 thousands of text examples of your 07:39 choice 07:40 to generate by itself a brand new text 07:43 following again 07:44 the same style as the training data in 07:47 this case the training data 07:48 is text and the style is a dating 07:50 profile type of text 07:52 what is fun about this model is that it 07:54 is very intuitive 07:56 we can see that gpt2 finds its 07:58 inspiration by looking at 08:00 all the other dating profiles to find 08:03 winning 08:03 patterns and then tries to replicate 08:05 them in a brand 08:06 new dating profile that never existed 08:09 before 08:10 remember this study was about using 08:12 these fake profiles on dating apps to 08:14 study 08:15 how real life singles swiped on the fake 08:18 images 08:18 as well as their overall perceptions of 08:21 ai generated matches 08:23 before getting into this next section 08:25 here's a video i made about gpd2's big 08:27 brother gpt3 08:29 for the most curious among you 08:31 showcasing some impressive applications 08:33 and explaining how it works 08:35 since gpt3 is pretty much an upgraded 08:37 version of its predecessor 08:39 it is highly similar it just has a much 08:42 bigger memory meet michael a 08:45 non-existing adventurous 29 year old 08:47 oakland programmer 08:49 for michael 44 of respondents said that 08:52 he looked 08:52 real and 82 said that it was highly 08:55 attractive 08:56 with a subjective rating of more than 7 08:59 out of 10. 09:00 with this in mind 73.6 percent of people 09:04 said that they will swipe right seeing 09:06 this profile 09:07 similarly for amy 86 percent of 09:09 respondents 09:10 said she was highly attractive with 09:12 again a subjective rating of more than 7 09:15 out of 10. 09:16 69.8 said they will swipe right 09:19 similarly 44 said this profile looked 09:22 real 09:22 they showed the statistical results for 09:24 several other profiles in their study 09:26 which i invite you to read if you want 09:28 to see more fake profiles 09:30 like these you won't be disappointed the 09:33 results are very similar for all 09:35 profiles they tested in their 09:36 experiments 09:37 concluding that around half of their 09:39 respondents cannot distinguish a fake 09:41 from an actual person 09:43 moreover this half finds them highly 09:45 attractive 09:47 of course online dating is not the real 09:49 world and i am pretty confident the 44 09:52 of respondents wouldn't be duped when 09:54 seeing the person 09:55 on their first date but still the study 09:58 shows that 09:59 as they say the person you are talking 10:01 to may not always be 10:02 who they say they are to which i would 10:04 like to add that it might not even be a 10:06 person 10:07 at all when it's too good to be true it 10:10 probably is 10:11 to end on a more positive note the 10:12 advancement of artificial intelligence 10:14 is incredible 10:16 here they used previous state-of-the-art 10:18 techniques meaning that the fake 10:20 profiles could look even better now 10:22 not to talk about how these generative 10:25 models will perform in a couple of years 10:27 feel free to check out the study linked 10:29 in the comments and let me know what you 10:31 think about these fake profiles 10:33 do they look real to you i will gladly 10:36 discuss it with you in the comments 10:38 thank you for watching 10:47 [Music]
