I don\u2019t mind if someone takes a blink out during an edit,\u201d Reeves spoke to the publication. \u201cBut early on, in the early 2000s, or it might have been the \u201990s, I had a performance changed. They added a tear to my face, and I was just like, \u2018Huh?!\u2019 It was like, I don\u2019t even have to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s frustrating about that is you lose your agency,\u201d The \u201cJohn Wick\u201d Star said it all during his tirade against deepfakes. \u201cWhen you give a performance in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/movies\">film<\/a>, you know you\u2019re going to be edited, but you\u2019re participating in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cIf you go into deepfake land, it has none of your points of view. That\u2019s scary. It\u2019s going to be interesting to see how humans deal with these technologies. They\u2019re having such cultural, sociological impacts, and the species is being studied. There\u2019s so much \u2018data\u2019 on behaviors now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reeves noted that a teenager asked this question \u201cwho cares if it\u2019s real?\u201d Reeves believes that following this path could lead to trouble, during a recent conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are growing up with these tools: We\u2019re listening to music already that\u2019s made by AI in the style of Nirvana, there\u2019s NFT digital art,\u201d Wired spoke with Reeves \u201cIt\u2019s cool, like, \u2018Look what the cute machines can make!\u2019 But there\u2019s a corporatocracy behind it that\u2019s looking to control those things,\u201d He stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCulturally, socially, we\u2019re gonna be confronted by the value of real, or the non-value. And then what\u2019s going to be pushed on us? What\u2019s going to be presented to us?\u201d Reeves asked. \u201cIt\u2019s this sensorium. It\u2019s spectacle. And it\u2019s a system of control and manipulation. We\u2019re on our knees looking at cave walls and seeing the projections, and we\u2019re not having the chance to look behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The topic of fake technology was front and center in the news this month, as a popular streamer for video games issued an apology after he allegedly purchased AI-generated pornography from other internet personalities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Ewing (screenname Atrioc) admitted that he paid for AI-generated material \u201cdeepfake porn\u201d Several female streamers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire stated previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitch-streamer-caught-viewing-ai-generated-deepfake-porn-of-female-streamers\">reported<\/a>The non-consensual nature of AI software is only one of the many controversies.
