Everybody Can Make Deepfakes Now!

The scary thing about this stuff, is that there is gonna be a point where video footage won't serve as evidence in court.

It's so funny when you have listened to someone for ages and you've built an image of them in your head, then you see the person for the first time and you realise you weren't even close!

They're not creating ai algorithms anymore, they're venturing into pure magic now

This is amazing and absolutely frightening at the same time. It'll start out with memes, and wind up causing wars.

The memes that can be made from this will be legendary

What people think it will do: "Everyone can use deepfakes now, video evidence won't be enough proof anymore, and anyone can make a leader say anything."

With this, combined with AI voice cloning, we can finally have videos of our favorite pop culture figures reciting the navy seal copypasta. What a time to be alive.

As Deepfakes become increasingly more sophisticated, a bevy of smaller studios may afford to make better movies involving stunt doubles. Deepfakes may even be used in traditional animation in tandem with DAIN (Depth Aware INterpolation) so that smaller studios can afford to animate, and with fewer frames.

Man, combined with software that can transform a person’s voice to match another’s ... we are in so much trouble.

So now video proof can't be used in court anymore

It's funny how people think that this stuff could be used for terrifying things but in reality all people will use this for is to make Obama beatbox

I only want it to do meme. No political involved

This is really scary. Imagine what illminded people can do by spreading false material made by this type of software as actual footage.

well this is terrifying and also mind-blowing and an amazing testiment to the power of computer science all at once

Woohoo! A video where we get to see the man in action! (Also, I'm definitely going to have fun with that colab.)

The fact that it can do extremely stylized and non human/abstract shapes has such interesting implications for speeding up animation workflows. The idea that, as a solo animator, you could offload the majority of tweening work as an automated process, and just focus on creating high quality key frame moments is incredibly intriguing. Definitely gonna have to give that a whirl.

This is completely insane. To understate it, this is revolutionary software. I can't wait to try it myself. My mind is blown.

That's so awesome that this technology isn't just hanging out there; like, he's educating the military and agencies to be able to detect these kinds of footage.

Two papers down the line, we will remake GOT season 8!

Although this entire concept just freaks me out, before I run away screaming, I MUST thank you for your service to the defenders of our country and I’m sure many others. You could have made some serious BANK, and I hope you do. But your conviction to put your fellow man before anything else is truly admirable. Chivalry is NOT dead after all. Thank you!
