(as in other thread):

aphrodite.ai transforms your face to a currently limited set of target faces in near realtime. The neural network is not actually running in your browser but streams you webcam video via WebRTC to a high end GPU instance nearby and back. This is still very much work in progress on all parts: frontend, processing, ...

Tips on usage: - Use a desktop system with chrome or firefox - If the system does not work for some reason, please wait at least 5 minutes and reload the page - For best results your face pose is looking straight into the camera and in good lighting conditions.

Ummm, no camera and no WebRTC here ;)

So are there video examples?

This is interesting, but what is something like this expected to be used for? Is it for novelty value or is there a practical reason one would want to deepfake themself? (Not a criticism, just legitimately curious.)

Damn!

If I could run this thing locally, I could actually have a webcam :) If it did a total enough job, anyway.

Apparently this is only set up on the www subdomain -- trying to access it without www gives me a German 403.

I feel like if I paid for 15 minutes, I'd feel cheated sitting there watching the clock tick down while it "starts the AI cluster."
