People would pay for this for sure, but jeez, this page is terrible, I assume it's just an MVP, you need to get some design work on this asap & I'm sure people will pay.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, you are right there is still a lot to be done - we are just trying to get some initial comments/thoughts on it via HN. Is is not 'officially' launched yet. Any specific advice on improvements?

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.)

One use that occurs to me (though it opens a legal basket of worms) is amateur filmmaking. People love to write fan fiction; deepfakes can open the door to visual fan fiction in movie or TV form on a level that's not really possible right now. A more legitimate one would be for videoconferencing -- if you fake yourself in the best possible shape (say, after some weight loss, plus makeup, plus great hair style, plus w…

Unfortunately the term deepfake is horribly loaded in negative ways.

I'm thinking realtime deepfakes plus augmented reality.

You could transform anyone you're seeing to anyone else. Your colleagues could become the cast of Start Trek. Turn everyone into monsters for the day.

Honestly, it looks like a site dedicated to tricking people into giving away their credit card data.

Thanks for the feedback. As explained here, all HN readers can use it with a free coupon code. Our credit card payment system is based on stripe. We never get the raw CC data (this can be verified in the JS code). Any suggestions to make it look more legit?

i work in a digital marketing agency and we build hundrets of landing pages, some with payment integration and forms. ways we significantly improve fill out rates is by increasing trustworthiness and credibility:

All 5000 coupon code sessions reserved for HN readers are exhausted. Thanks to everyone who gave it a try and provided us with feedback here on HN and via email. If you still haven't - we would highly appreciate your feedback! As much as we would like to give all of you a glimpse of our system - the compute costs unfortunately do not allow us to indefinitely extend the free sessions.

Though our system is still in a beta state and a bit rough around the edges - if you want to see it now you can already use it via the Stripe-based Credit Card payment system.

If you have any comments/suggestion please send us an email: info@aphrodite.ai
