Sayin again. It aint a shame endorsing in advertising. It is money just about everybody wants. Doesnt even matter if advertising for multiple competitors. Real shame is when you deny an act that some might consider questionable. Psychologists call it toxic shame. It is much more toxic when you try to cover the tracks (like deleting a page or a link].
I also say again. There aint AI involved in that video. The image and the voice are real. The strongest evidence is lip-synching. AI will never be able to fake lip-synching. AI avoids to show lips because synch can be exposed as fake. And that’s why the FB page was removed. The Smoking gun.

This is a very poorly worded post considering that you have no idea how or why the link to the video was deleted. I wonder if you would retract your accusations against Mike until you can provide some actual information instead of your clearly uninformed speculation.
Even if free public AI cannot do lip synch, commercially available AI has much more power. Also, it is easy to take a recording of someone talking and change the words slightly so the lips still seem synched.
I also point out that you implied that I am overstating my AP income even though you have no direct knowledge of my online activities. You claim that nobody believes me, but you have no way of knowing what everyone here believes. Please stick to facts.

Yes there is commercially available AI lipsync.
As someone who has an AI project that requires lipsync I can tell you that no commercially available lipsync companies (mostly doing business at this point in Hollywood) will do what you suggest, that is to supply lipsync to an unknown and unwilling artist
They require signed contracts by the person who is being AI modeled that they give EXCLUSIVE PERMISSION to have their voices and lipsync replicated.
BTW this is also true for creating voice models (the accusation that the voice is fake AI of Mike would require the creation of a voice model. The AI would have to be trained specifically on Mike's voice). Even the publicly available voice cloning services, at least the ones I familiar with) require a verification video, that is a short video where the person speaks into the camera phrases that let them know they have permission to clone their voice.
To anyone who thinks this is an AI fake, I suggest you try to use an AI to replicate what you saw. At this point in time, it's not possible.
You will get something. But you won't get what was posted.

I am confused and maybe my English is not good enough
are you saying that it is real and the Wizard did this ad to earn some $$$
I am still convinced it is a fake!
link to original post
I knew that I had seen this unusual video setup before:
Here two corresponding screenshots:
I guess the video footage was taken from there.
I haven't seen the facebook video but I tend to think that the rest was somehow faked in ...
Below is the specific head movement I mentioned a few pages ago that no AI would currently be able to do properly. (The top frame where Mike is looking skyward. AI would not be able to do that without serious artifacts if at all)
It's definitely the same video I saw in the Facebook.
If someone had that video I could do an actual frame by frame overlay for verification but that is imo the footage.
As for audio, it's definitely Mike's voice based on my knowledge of AI voice cloning. Most likely it clips of his own voice rearranged to sound like it does in the fake.
Here's some lip sync you can try to claim is AI. This song is a dance hit all over TikTok and Instagram. "I just killed a man she's my alibi."

Much more possible than the AI suggestions made in earlier posts.
At the beginning of this thread people thought the entire image was AI generated. Yet those people were very wrong.
I've been saying this for some time. You're wasting your time trying to convince D.Oz that he is wrong. He is more than wrong, he is all over the place trying desperately to appear like he said something that was worth hearing at any point.

And the video is not quite real. It is three segments of one longer video connected into one.

How or why he said "it's almost certainly real" because he couldn't "see Caesars spending money on ads" is baffling. The whole thing had nothing to do with Caesars.
Quote: MDawgProzema you are on the right track, he never said those words it's a voice that sounds like him. Also the video is pieced together it is three distinct pieces of a different video.

Lol,
Of course lawyers don't know how to process new evidence as it comes along.
Once a statement is made it's sacrosanct and if contrary evidence comes along they have to stick with their incorrect assumptions.
MDawg follows that to the letter like a good lawyer (snicker snicker).
I on the other hand will change my opinion and view in light of new evidence.
But when it comes to AI, as I said I have more knowledge about it's capabilities than most people on this forum (not most people in AI but on this forum yes) and you guys couldn't reproduce what you claim is in that video with AI because that level of technology isn't there yet.
Soon but not yet.
Just face facts for a change, sheesh.

darkoz -
Thank you.
The only disagreement with your post is about AI NEVER being able to do lipsync.
There is a Beta test trial going on and I see AI lipsync being available to the public perhaps in six months.
But right now it's not available.
The real giveaway in my opinion is the different angle taken inside what is most likely Michael's house. NO WAY AI could replicate that. Also the current limitations are ten seconds of generated AI video.
It's definitely not AI and anyone who ACTUALLY works with AI will know that.

For the record –
Toolyp aint an AI fake of DarkOz. nor is he the real DarkOz. look how dif the avatars are.
BTW - Can Mike also promote Biden, or Trump, or both? I saw AI videos where each guy sings and plays the guitar. They wont fool anybody… I mean the videos.
Trump & Biden - Sultans of Swing
I wonder if another AI video could fake a Mike riding the bike like Lance Armstrong. Can you work on that AI project, DarkOz?

Now we talkin REAL business for a change. I thought I was very generous with the house edge – just 20%. We talked in the bj thread about the new bj basic strategy coming from France. The casino winnings were 10% which indicates a good measure of the house edge.
Well that means that 9 out of 10 players win; 1 in 10 players is wiped out. I think the logik is correct. The casino on one side; the collective Player on the other side. The casino takes in 10% of Player’s bankroll. Equivalently: Player loses 90% of their bankroll.
Now in that video that I believe was real with a real mike and camera the caption read:
“EVERY 5TH PLAYER WINS AT CAESARS PALACE CASINO”
Which means 2 out of 10 players win; 8 in 10 players are wiped out
Hmm! thats like sayin 80% house edge, no?
What would the REAL Wizard of Vegas have to say about these calculations? Whats his take?

I don't believe channel 8 is part of this.
I believe the video of Ceasars was taken from a channel 8 news report that didn't include Mike. In other words a hobbled from different sources video.

One of my favorite trivia questions for Vegas experts is "True or false -- There is an apostrophe in Caesars Palace?" If they correctly say false, it leads to a follow up of why not? Anyone here know?
And yeah, I learned that from hanging out at this site.

Yeah, I knew that too, but probably from one of the old Vegas info shows that the Travel Chanel would play seemingly on a loop back in the early 2000's. But to expand, no apostrophe at all since it isn't meant to signify possessiveness. I.E. Guests are treated like a Caesar, but they aren't actually a Caesar.Quote: GialmereCaesars plural, meaning all guests are treated like a Caesar.

On a related note, I always wondered if, in one particular context, that the apostrophe would be correct.
I.E. In the Hangover line, "Is this the real Caesar's palace? Like, did Caesar live here?" Since he's talking about Caesar, the person, shouldn't it have the apostrophe?
Regardless, I put it in when I created this slide for my screensaver folder.

Time for me to draw my conclusions and fold up. The main character in the Vegas King series has spoken. Too short or too cryptic - doesnt matter to me a lot.
1) “It aint me period”
Well then it must be Caesars Palace broke the law. In a brilliant AI move Caesars Palace faked a known gambling personality endorsing the online casino.
In this latest scenario a new thread is in tall order. Since the matter is serious Caesars Palace might intervene as well.
2) “It aint me period”
Will it lead it to season 3? Only AI wiz DarkOz might know the answer…
AI willnever reach the authenticity of the video discussed in this thread. AI always needs gigantic databases. AI cant create authenticity. Ive never been fooled by any AI thing. Yup, AI beats me at chess but I know it aint Bobby Fisher.

I reasonably trust them to spell their own name right.
The page the video was posted on (and possibly the app they seemed to be touting) was spelled "Ceasars". It was NOT a "verified" page.
Hate 'em if you want, but base it on a different reason. I think this was someone else.
It's not AI. Just "Actual" footage re-edited to be in a "Fake" ad,
Audio as well.
As I said before, this footage is almost 6 years old and it looks like real footage albeit edited and maybe a little sibilance was cut-off on one word. I think it's a separate project done on the same date as the URComped video from Oct. 31, 2018 that is promoting this app. Why nobody has noticed this video in 6 years is beyond me, it probably ended up on the cutting room floor somewhere and resurfaced, but it looked like it aired on TV news which airs for only one day, not in a heavy rotation like a commercial.

I had the same thought, but the apostrophe would imply ownership by the Caesars, which is not clear to me.

My Latin declension is rusty, but I believe that the genitive plural of "Caesar" would be "Caesarum" (Palatium Caesarum, perhaps?). However, it's a moot point since "Caesars Palace" is a registered trademark (USPTO #73141287).
