stable diffusion as a DeepFake machine

Dave R shared on the cogai mailing list a link to Stabled Diffusion
https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-diffusion
It is one of the many many versions available apparently,
I played with it and commented on a related post

Totally by synchronicity in the very remote village I live in, last night I
walked into someone random  (feeding the village cats) and the topic of
stable diffusion came up, I was told  Its becoming very popular, in
different flavours, although some people are upset  apparently

It is relevant to KR

From a AI KR perspective, however innocent fun Stable_Diffiusion may be,
its output can be misleading, By not exposing the source data and algorithm
to generate the image, its outcome can be used to mislead people into
thinking this is some kind of original artwork

In a good world, this can be amusing and intriguing

In our wicked world, Deepfakes are used maliciously
In the media

In the scholarly literature, the CNN behind the mechanism

Only KR can  identify, expose and prevent deepfakes
