That's a terrible Deepfake to be honest. This is a much better example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPhUhypV27w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPhUhypV27w

More convincing for the face, sure, but last I checked Schwarzenegger had much, much more body mass than in that video. Does anyone know if the technology for faking body shape (and accessories too maybe) is anywhere near as good as for faces yet?

  I feel like what makes this one so good is how subtle it is. It took me a moment to go from, “wow, Hader really nailed the facial expressions,” to realizing what was going on. In this case, the body is being entirely ignored by the autoencoder. The way it works is by first doing a machine vision pass to isolate just faces and process on that region for both sets of source imagery.

    From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake: > Deepfakes (a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake"[1]) are media that take a person in an existing image or video and replace them with someone else's likeness using artificial neural networks. "Likeness" refers to appearance in general, not just the face.

Agreed. The eyes in this video look weirdly bloodshot and unnatural. Even before it started playing I thought it looked bizarre.

  Might be because of the original, Zuck was widely criticized for his congressional testimony for his eyes looking weirdly bloodshot and generally looking very unnatural.

The article addresses this, the point is that someone new to the technology can make this one that's ok "The video isn't perfect. It doesn't quite capture the full details of Data's face, and if you look closely you can see some artifacts around the edges. Still, what's remarkable is that a neophyte like me can create fairly convincing video so quickly and for so little money. And there's every reason to think deepfake technology will continue to get better, faster, and cheaper in the coming years."
