THE DRAGON HUNTERS

Danilo Šaranović or Petar Komnenic

It's a shame that Petar didn't let the minister go from Medenica, who is on the run, to Veskobar, who has just been captured.

Whether Miloš Medenica, with whom Petar Komnenić spoke the other night, is virtual or real, the public still has no answer. Moreover, the audience was particularly confused after the testimony of Interior Minister Šaranović: I spoke with people from the Police Department who deal with high-tech crime and asked if there was a possibility that in real time and through deep fake technology, artificial intelligence, and so on, someone could be included who looks like Danilo Šaranović, speaks like Danilo Šaranović, and is actually Petar Komnenić - they clearly said yes! That there is a possibility.

After the quoted statement of DŠ, the audience was no longer sure not only whether Miloš Medenica was real or fake, but also who was Danilo Šaranović and who was Petar Komnenić in the TV Vijesti studio that evening. Viewers rightly wondered whether, through deep fake technology, artificial intelligence, and so on, the guest in the studio who looks like Danilo Šaranović, speaks like the Minister of Internal Affairs, is smart like the Director of the Police Administration, and seems as prepared as any member of the presidency of Democratic Montenegro - was in fact Petar Komnenić. That is, viewers are wondering again whether, through deep fake technology, artificial intelligence, and so on, the author and host of the show in real time, who looks like Petar Komnenić, asks like Petar Komnenić, does not give up like Petar Komnenić, and catches a minister in a lie like Petar Komnenić - was in fact Danilo Šaranović.

And then Miloš Medenica! How could viewers that evening discern whether the ghost who introduced himself as Miloš Medenica was real or fake when cybercrime experts convinced the boss Danilo Š that all kinds of miracles are possible in real time. That someone who looks like Danilo Šaranović, talks like Boris Bogdanović, acts as confident as Lazar Šćepanović, while at the same time being quiet and self-deprecating like Zeta's clairvoyant Aleksa Bečić - that he is in fact Momo Koprivica. And that the author of the show, who demands responsibility for the minister and the police, asks about the complicity of the court and the ANB, mentions a ficus and a meadow, asks Medeno to scratch himself and take off his hat, that he is Danilo Šaranović. Or the fugitive Pavle Đurišić. That's what deep fake technology, artificial intelligence and so on can do in real time.

Or when you watch a certain Vraneš, the mayor of Pljevlja, laying a wreath at the monument to the "Serbian heroes" from Višegrad "as a sign of gratitude and on behalf of the Serbs from Montenegro", for ethnic cleansing, the camps and Srebrenica, it is natural to wonder, even if you are not the Minister of Police, whether it is really Vraneš, because he speaks like him, looks like him, his name is Dario, he is as eloquent as Miki Spajić, but in fact he is Andrija Mandić.

Minister DS and his experts from the cybercrime department are right when they say that with the help of deep fake technology, artificial intelligence and so on, anything can be shown. Not only the real Miloš Medenica but also the real Dario Vraneš and the unreal Andrija Mandić. Who in real time presents deep fake views, such as that Gorski vijenac was inspired by Šumadija and the First Serbian Uprising, and that Njegoš is a Serbian poet even though in Serbia they can only understand him with the help of a translator, deep fake technology, artificial intelligence and so on...

When, on the occasion of the statehood day of the mother country, mother Serbia, Republika Srpska, Zeta Banovina, and so on, Milan Knežević made a statement and instead of Karađorđe, he gave a speech about Alek, Oskar, Šef, "as a sign of respect for Serbia's place in today's world", we all wondered if, with the help of deepfakes, artificial intelligence, and so on, someone who writes as Milan Knežević, combs his hair to the right side like Milan Knežević, celebrates Vučić as Milan Knežević - is actually Vladislav Dajković. Or Marko Milačić, at best. The same hot dog, just a different package.

But let's get back to Miloš Medenica. Take off your hat Miloš… Scratch yourself… It seems real, there's no doubt, admitted the guests in the studio, Andjušić and Adžić. But not Minister DŠ. He called the Police Directorate, the high-tech crime department, again, to ask them if it was possible that someone who just called Komnenić, who looks like Miloš Medenica, speaks like Miloš Medenica, is screwing me and Lazar as Miloš Medenica, that he is actually Miloš Medenica. Or his mother Vesna. The UP, or rather the cybercrime sector, repeated their earlier position, and explained to the minister that with the help of deep fake technology, artificial intelligence and so on, the only possible thing is that someone who is Danilo Šaranović, looks like Danilo Šaranović, the minister is like Danilo Šaranović, can only be Petar Komnenić. "They clearly said yes, there is a possibility," Minister DŠ announced after the conversation.

It's a shame that Petar didn't let the minister go from Medenica, who is on the run, to Veskobar, who has just been caught. And who was not helped by deep fake technology, artificial intelligence, a hood, a long jacket or a beard, to escape and not be recognized by the UP High-Tech Crime Department, and then not be arrested by the UP BKOK Department and brought to the competent prosecutor. In vain, Barović convinced them that although he looks like Vesko, talks like Vesko, smokes like Vesko, and hangs out with Mila like Vesko, that he is actually Duška Jeknić. That is, Danilo Mitrović.

Also, Minister Šaranović was real, not fake, when he detected the author of the show Petar Komenić as someone who, in the absence of Miloš Medenica, also needs to be caught. No less than Veskobar. “Nothing, here, uh, now, now Petar Komnenić is calling a number. We will get to the CB together after this, so let's see,” the minister, who looks like Danilo Šaranović, talks like Danilo Šaranović and does not interfere in Lazar's business like Danilo Šaranović, commanded from the studio to a number. So Komnenić, instead of sharing with his colleagues and friends the satisfaction of the filigree-led show, which would deserve a Pulitzer in the USA (if it were awarded for TV journalism), had to spend the rest of the evening in the CB Podgorica. Who is this Pulitzer, asked Danilo Šaranović, from the Cyber ​​and High-Tech Crime Department of the Police Directorate?! Bring him in too, the minister ordered. Only with the help of deep fakes, artificial intelligence and other technologies, experts answered him from a number. No, there is no other option., they responded after the Minister of Social Affairs insisted that Pulitzer be heard as well. And all this in the absence of Medenica. Miloš Medenica.
