Recently, a video published on Chinese social media has gone viral for showing how AI-powered deepfake technology can be used to easily transform virtually anyone online.
App filters and deepfake technologies have been around for years, but the advent of artificial intelligence has taken them to a whole new level, making it almost impossible to tell what's real on the internet. It's now possible. Take a look at this recent video shared by a Chinese engineer. He demonstrates how easy it is to pass as an attractive young girl. All he has to do is put on the wig and activate the software, and the AI will take care of the rest. You can replace the man's face with the face of an attractive girl, but otherwise imitate all the actions of a man, such as eating with chopsticks, pinching your own face, and speaking with appropriate mouth movements. To do.
This video is both impressive and frightening, showing how easy it is for a person to impersonate someone else. As an engineer myself, I admit that the software is not perfect, but I myself have a hard time finding flaws. Some users have pointed out that even though his face is transformed into that of a young woman, his hands are not as thin and delicate as they should be, but I don't care about such details at all. I didn't give them away.
“Who in the future will dare to believe their eyes?” one Twitter user commented on the video.
The engineer explained that while some details still need to be perfected, such as eye movements, it's clear that deepfake technology has come a long way thanks to artificial intelligence.
