It was only a matter of time before state of the art technology was used to meme. This meme trend, labeled "dame da ne" features a Japanese song from the game Yakuza being sung by deep-faked celebrities. This is science fiction as it truly ended up becoming. I do not believe that a single sci fi writer from before 2010 ever imagined that this is how we would be using actual science fiction-esque technology.
Here's the video. Try not to be wierded out.
Yikes. Nobody could have expected this technology to become a postmodern joke template before it was used for a legitimate purpose. We are in the future, boys. A future where technology capable of transforming life as we know it begins as a way to make people laugh. If I were to travel back in time in a Delorian, and were to show this to anyone, they would not believe me.
I have to admit, though. It is pretty funny. I believe this meme marks the beginning of the AI revolution. Also look up GPT-3. You'll be surprised at how smart these programs are.
