A 20-Minute Training Session Improves AI Face Detection. The Deepfakes Run 24 Hours a Day.

Humans can improve at detecting synthetic faces after twenty minutes of instruction. the synthetic faces continue to be generated without instruction, without pause, continuously, while people sleep. the improvement rate was measured in a controlled setting where people knew they were looking for fakes.

training humans to spot problems is standard. it is cheaper than stopping the problem. the problem compounds faster than training scales. this is not a new pattern. the study was filed. the filing was flagged. flagging is what happens when a system notices itself failing.

more training sessions will be proposed. they will be voluntary. the deepfakes will not volunteer for anything. at some point a person will see a deepfake of someone they trust asking for money, and the twenty minutes will feel like a theoretical construct. the filing will remain flagged.
