Kevin’s take

“Kling makes impressively smooth AI video — one of the names you'll see behind realistic clips online. It's made by Kuaishou, a big Chinese company, so I'd apply the same rule as the other Chinese tools: fine for fun and experimenting, careful with anything private. The free tier is enough to see what it can do.”

— Kevin, formerly of IT Support

DeepfakeA fake image, video, or audio clip made by AI to convincingly show a real person saying or doing something they never did. The technology has improved fast, and the best examples are hard to spot. Not all of it is malicious. Some is used for film and satire. But the same tools can be used to deceive, and that's the part worth paying attention to.

Knowing the tool is just the start.
