Don't let the title mislead you. This is no mere dispute over unkempt lawns and late-night noise.

We're aboard a wild ride where world-class celebrities, from Beyonce to Kim Kardashian and everyone in between, participate in hilarious and petty neighbourhood disputes.

But here’s the twist—it takes place not in glitzy LA or New York but in quaint British suburbia!

You might be wondering if famous individuals have time for petty disputes. Well, you're absolutely correct!

That's where 'deep fake' technology steps in—a cutting-edge AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology that has dramatically altered the world of TV production.

Imagine this: you've got the UK’s best impressionists, add a sprinkle of impressive AI, and voilà—perfect renditions of our favourite celebrities. Clever, isn’t it?

Here's a bit about how it works: 'Deep fake' tech incorporates machine learning and artificial intelligence to create realistic, albeit doctored, videos.

As expected, this novelty has created a buzz on social media. People are using emojis to express their utter confusion, and there are posts ranging from excitement to worry about the potential conflicts that this technology could trigger.

The public's opinion on this matter is as diverse as the Australian continent itself:

Even impacted celebrities, like Nicki Minaj, have shared their surprise and raised their own concerns:

This television phenomenon premiered on the UK's ITVX stage in January, subsequently landing on Australian screens six months afterwards via SBS.

The digital spectacle it promises certainly has viewers curiously squinting. But it also brings forth a critical question—what does the advent of such convincing 'deep fake' technology mean for the future?

On cue, an SBS spokesperson hailed it as a new frontier in comedy, a beacon of progressive technology.

An SBS spokesperson shared, ‘SBS acquired Deep Fake Neighbour Wars from ITVX in the UK, where it was first shown earlier this year. The fictional comedy series uses deep fake technology in this way for the first time, and it’s clear that audiences are finding it as bizarre as we do.’

Ugh!

I am a writer, and in the global writing community the fear of AI is at the High Alert level. AI has been around for decades though, making our life increasingly 'easier'. But these days, the increasing sophistication of AI - particularly in the realm of imagery - is gob-smacking. For instance, 5 weeks ago when using Midhourney to create an image of a character for my story board, the AI (Midjourney) produced the most grotesque hands and forearms. It's hard to explain, but for instance, the left arm of the character wasn't even connected to the character's body - it was just there, a few cms to the right of the character.

Last week - so a mere four weeks later - when I went back to Midjourney to try again, it got it right! I played with a few more character prompts to give it a thorough workout, and every time, Midjourney managed to produce an image that was physiologically correct (which means, not necessarily the image I had in mind though).

But in the everyday sense, AI is not the enemy here. It is the people who use it to abuse it and use it against the rest of us. It isn't some artificial intelligence that has grown too big for its boots and is taking over. AI is only as good as the instructions and info we give it to begin with.

So when we see images that make us do a double take and scratch our head; or that just make our jaws drop in disbelief, do stop and think whether it might be a fake - but don't blame AI. Because there is someone - some human being - that is directing that AI bot to generate the image.

More $h&t NOT to watch - if nobody watches the $h&t shows than they won't get made.

Unfortunately they will

Have never been interested in watching any lifestyle shows, certainly wouldn’t watch any about some of these so called people who think they are the best thing since sliced bread, with their over inflated egos and everything else.
