Within VFX the terms are actor, object and background replacement. Rarely mentioned in any of the deep fake literature is the requirement for a non-facial skin skin tone correction for most deep fakes to begin to look natural. Everybody ignores the fact that you nor I have the same skin tone, and that needs to be touched up for any face replacement to start to look correct.
- Melatonic 4y agoA good VFX artist can also do a hell of a better job than any of these deepfake automated platforms. And has been able to do that for a long, long time now. So while deepfakes becoming more available to everyone worries me the fact that we have not yet seen tons of well done face swap videos done by malicious actors paying a decent VFX artist makes me wonder how big this will really become. That being said for smaller countries with less internet access (and less education) this has already become a big problem (lots of cases in elections in Africa) so I think once again it comes down to education: we must inoculate people to bullshit like this by giving them the tools to spot it and future things like it.
