Deepfaked Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton by Metaphysic

I didn't expect that kind of quality. Incredible

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

It’s a deepfaked Tom Cruise, with the real Paris Hilton.

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's fake, there's no way I'd ever think "wow this is a fake video").

This is either going to send a shockwave to society in the trust department (i.e. we'll have to absolutely distrust everything and everyone will have to adapt immediately), or we'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've been saying, and look completely real).

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:

- first batteries were used on parties to run current through people for fun

- first use of uranium was in phosphorescent paint
