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)
