Creating a deepfake took two weeks and cost $552
A few weeks ago my girlfriend made me discover Instagram filters. Obviously they're not in "deep fake" territory but I was still massively impressed by the quality of the face recognition and tracking coupled with some rather advanced 3D reconstructions on top.15 years ago that would've been science fiction, today it's a free gimmicky feature in an app running on commodity hardware. There are also apps that will smooth your skin or change the shape of your eyes in real time.All these technologies are evolving at a ridiculously fast pace, I'm sure that a decade from now you'll be able to do a much more convincing fake in a fraction of the time. We're getting deeper and deeper into a post-truth world.
