This whole post is a beneficial use case of deepfake-ish tech.

  And that is what, exactly? From the abstract: "Our system can generate novel points between professional tennis players that resemble Wimbledon broadcasts, enabling new experiences such as the creation of matchups between players that have not competed in real life, or interactive control of players in the Wimbledon final." I don't believe academic researchers needs to justify their work by providing real life applications. But if that were the extent of deepfake's utility, I'd be underwhelmed.

    Not sure if the deepfaking here is necessary step, but I think it could be useful towards creating humanoid robot assisted tennis training.

    Interactive deep faking of real people in video games seems insanely impressive at least to me. What more could you expect?
