Recent talk about artificial intelligence and deep fake video has made Matey Dave pose questions:
Back in the day when it was all analgue we could tell if most stuff was real. In the digital age that has all changed and with Artificial Intelligence reality is getting a bit difficult to spot. Recent examples of Trump being arrested are too good to be true but give example of what can be done today. getting a bit scary....
How many would believe photos are rea?
A few years ago, video games were doing interesting things, imagine what will be being achieved in a couple of year
If the produced realistic video of dream wrestling bouts, how many would pay to watch or collect them? Remembering that wresting was scripted would it make difference to experts? It's going to be a bit of a joke all-round. How many times could one enjoy watching Mick McManus beating Bill Torontos 0-2?
I had the opportunity of spending time with the orginal Steve Logan. He told me about time spent with Sensi Abi and Otani, and what he learnt. In his prime he could have put on a good technical bout, what Walton and Kincaid said was true. A lot of the old timers knew what they were doing, the moves and where they were in the ring. must say was always impressed with lack of bruising on show. It was scripted and all the wrestlers would look after each other.
Big difference in having a pre determined intense match and scripted in the sense that wrestlers talk inane drivel in over long promos
