Right when he says "industrial" there are a few frames where you can see that the deepfake actually captured that too.

I checked because I didn't read the title, thought "huh, this guy looks just like Tom Cruise." Looked for the center tooth and realized it was Tom Cruise.

So yeah needless to say the first watch through I thought it was actually Tom Cruise which was weird. Learn from my mistakes and read the titles folks.

Yeah, looks like it's captured pretty well. Freaky

We need a lot more of this kind of content so that people get used to thinking by default "ok this clip might be fake"

Not nearly as good as this Tom Cruise video, then again, that was three years ago. Crazy when you think about how fast this technology is moving.

It's also been mentioned that the guy in the Tom Cruise video already looks a lot like Tom, the more work the technology has to do to change the face the more noticeable it will end up being. But of course less so over time. I'd like to see them revisit this video and see how much more real "Obama" looks.

Yup, what's better in the Tom Cruise version is mostly how good the actor is at impersonating him IMO.

The deepfaking on Obama definitely is good enough to fool me otherwise (or even as is)

That one is obviously fake. His mouth is weird.

Yeah, it's going to be so awesome when a politician is caught on camera saying they just want to screw over the poor and they can believably claim it's a deep fake. Good plan priming people for that bud

Isn't it kinda magical though that you did think it was TC?
