Remember when deepfakes were just a celebrity problem? Good times. Now your Aunt Mildred’s face could be digitally grafted onto, well, anything. Enter Loti AI, stage left, promising to scrub the internet clean of your unapproved digital doppelgangers.
Launched initially to protect the porcelain mugs of the rich and famous, Loti AI has thrown open the digital doors, offering its services to all. The premise? A four-step process that sounds suspiciously like online dating, but with less heartbreak (probably).
Step 1: Authorize. Prove you are, in fact, you. A modern-day Turing test, but for proving you’re not a low-resolution AI rendering of your former self.
Step 2: Find. Submit scans of your face and voice. Because nothing says ‘privacy’ like handing over your biometric data to a third-party AI. (Don’t worry, they promise to be careful).
Step 3: Remove. Point and click the offending content. Loti AI then unleashes its automated takedown ninjas. Or, you know, you can manually file a DMCA notice yourself. Your choice.
Step 4: Protect. Loti AI promises 24/7 monitoring and weekly scan updates. Think of it as a digital bodyguard, except instead of taking a bullet, it sends a cease-and-desist letter.
The company boasts a 95% takedown rate within 17 hours for those who opt for the auto-takedown feature. Which raises the question: Where do these takedowns go? Do they simply vanish into the digital ether? Or are they banished to a dark corner of the internet, where they plot their revenge?
CEO Luke Arrigoni’s vision is clear: ‘Zero images of you online that you haven’t approved.’ Ambitious. Slightly terrifying. And probably impossible. The internet, after all, is a vast and lawless expanse. Trying to control your image online is like trying to herd cats with a laser pointer. Fun to watch, but ultimately futile.
Loti AI offers both free and paid membership options. Because even in the fight against deepfakes, capitalism reigns supreme. You can sign up for the waitlist or download the app. Just be prepared to hand over your face and voice. And maybe your soul. (Terms and conditions apply.)
Will Loti AI stem the tide of digital impersonations? Only time (and a few thousand cease-and-desist letters) will tell. But one thing’s for sure: The deepfake wars have officially begun, and everyone’s invited.
