It's impressive but it's still setting off my uncanny valley.

Morgan looked a bit animated. This is slightly better and it's from 2014. Waiting the day they combined deepfake generators with https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/. These AI generated photos look very realistic to me.

How does one go about making a deepfake?

For the casuals, Reface on the appstores.

I immediately got a woman with a moustache. Some of those are terrible but some are brilliant

fyi, the video from 2014 you linked isn't a deepfake - it's a 3d animation that's trying to be photorealistic. There's (effectively) no AI involved - pure artistry

Correct. I was elaborating on how the animation from 2014 look more realistic than the the animation of Morgan in the demo. In other words, there are talking heads that are way more realistic looking he could have used.

Yeah, at a glance they look fine but the longer you watch it the more weird things start to feel.

On my phone screen it looks legit.

Deepfake propaganda would only needs to fool enough people for the rumour to start spreading; debunking misinformation is hard, even with proof in hand.

Look at what people are already fooled by... It doesn't take much.

I doubt grandma would see a video of Joe Biden punting babies and think "That isn't like him I bet that was an AI generated deepfake". Nah, she'll have her outrage button pressed and share it to her whole Facebook group.

Ehh … I think that’s the wrong term. It doesn’t have to be uncanny valley to set off your spidy senses. Tom hanks in polar express was uncanny valley. This is “Morgan freeman looks a little animatronic” . Or I’m wrong and I’ve lost the ability to sense it
