> Keep in mind that these are stills. Once the motion starts, humans detect the not-quite-realness easily. Even the 2D video creations by AI aren’t stitched correctly, let alone getting all the details of an animated 3D person right.
I agree this isn't end to end video synthesis but the end results are still very impressive and realistic. I can easily imagine this type of technology being a problem, because video evidence will be devalued and mean nothing.
They basically just animate Obama's lips using a RNN and then composite the output onto a target video of Obama to change the appearance of what he is saying. Yes they aren't generating all of Obama's head yet but this result in itself is impressive. Also I can't wait to see where GAN's take us 10-20 years down the road. Don't forget they are still in their infancy relatively speaking.
