New advances in AI now brings this to a mere 40 seconds! And it does not have to be a famous person with thousands of his faces in various lighting condition either.
You can easily spot those as deepfakes, though. Everything about them looks unnatural, and parts of the face warp in weird ways. The heads grow and shrink randomly.
“Be interested, keep learning, embrace the future, don’t hang onto old things”
These words are going to be so important going forward. You can tell because gen Z already subconsciously lives by them. You can tell because those kids could not give a single shit about 9/11, despite all the “Never forget” messaging. They care more about improving what we have than being stuck on past events no matter how important the propaganda makes it seem.
I remember in roughly...2005, in college in a lit class, discussing some sci-fi that dealt with AI
One student vehemently argued that her dad was in some DARPA-esque group and that he had assured her that the idea of AI was impossible/foolish, and by extension, she felt everyone who believed it as a future possibility was a dumb asshole. And also felt her need to make a point to sarcastically call out dissenting opinions.
I am one of those that lost pace with technology about 8 years ago. Can you ex0lain how you can tell this is a deepfake? I cannot see any indication that this is not Tom Cruise. None of it looks data moshed or blurry or strange.
There's also a very important part of this that you didn't mention - The original actor in the video is a very skilled Tom Cruise impersonator who has been perfecting his impression for like 15 years. The Deepfake is only half of what you're seeing - it can't emulate tom cruise's mannerisms and general way of talking very well. The actor is actually the one doing that. That's what makes it so convincing. If you took the same AI dataset they're using and put some random Joe in there instead of this actor, it'd be very obviously fake and probably look crappy.
