The opposite will happen. I doubt the call for preciseness wins out.

Reuters and other media will fetch deepfake to mean more things, and it will become a category of related frauds.

I have to wonder when the meaning change occurred. It's hard to tell if they got it from an interview, or a misunderstanding introduced it into the article.

>A generative adversarial network is the name given to dueling computer programs that run through a process of trial and error, according to Hao Li, chief executive and cofounder of Pinscreen, a startup that builds AI avatars.

>One program, the generator, sequentially fires out millions of attempts at a face; the second program, the discriminator, tries to sniff out whether the first program’s face is a fake. If the discriminator can’t tell, Li said, a deepfake is produced.
