It’s a deepfaked Tom Cruise, with the real Paris Hilton.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hitc.com&#x2F;en-gb&#x2F;2022&#x2F;10&#x2F;21&#x2F;paris-hilton-fans-confused-as-fake-tom-cruise-appears-on-her-tiktok-again&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hitc.com&#x2F;en-gb&#x2F;2022&#x2F;10&#x2F;21&#x2F;paris-hilton-fans-conf...</a><p>Still super impressive but it’s not two deep fakes at the same time.

Give it a couple more years to iron out the kinks and throw in more resources, and even fewer people may be able to spot anything off (I already cannot - even knowing that it&#x27;s fake, there&#x27;s no way I&#x27;d ever think &quot;wow this is a fake video&quot;).<p>This is either going to send a shockwave to society in the trust department (i.e. we&#x27;ll have to absolutely distrust everything and everyone will have to adapt immediately), or we&#x27;re in for a very, very rocky road where different people will walk around living in different realities where different things have happened (this is already the case, but more so when you can send a conspiracy theorist videos that -prove- everything they&#x27;ve been saying, and look completely real).

Maybe I&#x27;m bad at spotting these things but it looks and sounds super convincing to me. I really dread this technology weaponized in politics.

The neck is kinda off in the first second and 25 seconds in and seems to spill over the collar unnaturally, and the head seems too big. But otherwise very convincing. If someone did not tell me it was fake, I probably would not have noticed.

I wonder if porn industry will first see widespread adoption of deepfakes or jump straight to AI-generated humping.<p>&quot;Hi PornGPT, make me a film with X actor and Y actor doing so-and-so, culminating after 5 minutes - I&#x27;m in a rush&quot;.

Looks great. I think it&#x27;s definitely possible to tell that it&#x27;s fake if you already know that it&#x27;s not a real video, but I probably wouldn&#x27;t have noticed anything out of the ordinary if I weren&#x27;t already primed to spot subtle issues in their faces.

I find it hilarious that every time humankind invents a new unexpected technology, the first use cases are always entertainment. Other examples than deepfakes or ChatGPT:<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Aeolipile" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Aeolipile</a><p>- first batteries were used on parties to run current through people for fun<p>- first use of uranium was in phosphorescent paint

My bold prediction. Please hold me to this in 2 years &#x2F;s..<p>Some video storage service or ‘authentication service middleman’ is going to make a mint with blockchain authenticity proofing. They’ll provide a seal of authenticity that the feed being viewed came direct from a camera. Feed will be checked during viewing as well to verify its ‘camera direct’ state.

It&#x27;s really impressive, and even scary, but I get some uncanny valley from Tom&#x27;s head, it at times gives off a 3D impression that it&#x27;s popping out of the screen.

As long as I immediately notice something&#x27;s off I am not going to be impressed. I notice the neck is weird right away. A few seconds later I noticed the head is out of proportion in relation the body. I&#x27;m not the best at noticing picture deepfakes, but this one is obvious.

I can&#x27;t quite articulate what it is, but there&#x27;s a certain &quot;glimmer&quot; when his head turns a few times, but other than that this is shockingly convincing. If I wasn&#x27;t primed to expect a deepfake I&#x27;d probably not even notice or question it.

How much of this is &quot;deep fake&quot; and how much is a skilled lookalike impersonator?

The implications of this really make me want to get into Deepfake-countering technology. Can anyone recommend some reading or other resources? What companies are working on this?

I&#x27;d like to see the original for comparison

first part of the camera movement from oblique to straight the faked face on Cruise is very obvious.

This wasn’t the dystopian future I was promised. I much preferred the old one.

I didn&#x27;t expect that kind of quality. Incredible

what, wait! This is not true? Been scammed by my own stupidity.
