How Deepfakes are changing the face of Entertainment

The topic of deepfakes has been widely discussed over the past few years. The technology behind them, based on machine learning and AI, has obviously struck a cord of concern in many people, which has remained consistent throughout the multiple waves of attention the news cycles has given the phenomenon. The latest of such waves came along with a TikTok account of a fake Tom Cruise, which pushes the possibilities of deepfake technology the furthest we've seen yet. Should you be worried? Are we all doomed if technology can be this deceiving? Let's talk about it.

The two things that happens when something new is invented, is it dangerous, and can it be memed.

Andrei must be feeling like a real dad after he figured out the title.

Should deepfakes be used to spread misinformation to the public?: No
Should deepfakes be used to make hilarious memes?: Y E S

I wholeheartedly agree, lets not ban progress. If progress creates problems, progress will also fix problems. Just give society time to adjust.

Andrei’s animation style is so unique he could never be deepfaked, we’d all know immediately.

[FinancialShinanigan]

The more you learn about Alan Turing, the more you wonder how much more advanced we'd be if he got the support he deserves and didn't die young.

"always has been"

[JetblackJay]

The Tom Cruise one has uncanny valley levels of facial accuracy

There was one time someone looked exactly like a kpop star IU, when that video got viral people were shook and then a couple of days later it was rumoured to be deepfakes

I think deepfakes will definitely benefit the filming industry a bunch. To think that certain actors could basically live on forever in deepfakes is fascinating, I mean movies already backlogged so much data just in case of sudden death during filming, so it would definitely make it easier for them

[rexnaylor]

This is much more serious than some people might think. Andrei covers this really well.

This feels like a whole new level of tearing off the mask like Scooby-Doo bad guys and a lot of guessing

[wafi]

"Are we all doomed?" Yes, for a long time to be honest

[ComicalRealm]

Me: *downloads the software*
Software: "it takes around 3 days to render."
also me: *deletes software*

[Bigfoot_With_Extra_Stuff]

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to deepfake evidence of us bigfoots before

[Makaruu]

Gotta say, your point about the animators in japan being worked overtime and this technology helping sounds good in theory. However I think it'll more likely put people specialised in certain aspect of production out of a job, and as an animator myself I must say I would rather be underpaid than unemployed aha
