have you ever thought of a video online looking to be so strange? maybe a news of a well known person saying something shocking, or a person from the past delivering a speech they never gave? or a famous actor or actress seems to be doing nude videos which he/she has never done.
what exactly is a deepfake?
Deep means deep learning and fake means not original/ or we can say duplicate.
Deep fake uses a special type of artificial intelligence (AI) called as deep learning to manipulate existing footage. replacing a person’s face or body with someone else’s is very common here in deepfakes. this seems to be real. making it tricky to identify whether it’s real or not.
How do these deepfakes work ?
Deep fakes use a special kind of AI which is really good at recognizing faces. they spot the exact face which is in video.

in face swaps things get’s to be interesting. deepfakes use another kind of AI called as a autoencoder. It analyzes the source video, then it swaps the video face with which a user want’s. this seems to be very natural .after seeing the video you will not be able to identify that’s it’s duplicate (not real)
bad things about deepfakes:
- it can be misused to create fake news or spread rumors.
- to be frank nowadays scammers (hackers) they are swapping the face of porn (nude actresses) or actor i.e, with a celebrity. and all it leads to rumors or insulting of that actor or actress or a celebrity even after she/he has no role in that.
For example: this image, it was a video of a girl. Someone morphed rashmika mandana’s face with her and made it viral. there are numerous examples of this happening everyday.
nowdays on social media (AI) influencer trend is going viral. Some tech-geeks create artificially generated good looking images of girl as per the instructions given to that software i.e tool. and create good looking images. you will not even think that it’s fake not a real influencer. they use this AI influencers for marketing, ads etc. and charge good amount of money.
even they started swapping the face of AI influencers with different bodies of girls with good poses so it looks real. it seems to be she is in real life.
Isn’t she looks real?
her face morphed with different bodies and poses so it seems to be real. all it depends on us, whether we use it for a good purpose or a bad purpose👨💻Deepfakes can be a game-changer for movies, creating mind-blowing effects or bringing a person from the past to real life on screen.
nowdays creating deepfakes became common, and it’s important to be think of everything you see online videos, images i.e don’t believe on everything you see at first glance👀
If you’re using this fakes for entertainment or educational purposes, be upfront about it. let people know that what they’re seeing isn’t entirely real.

the laws of creating and sharing morphed images or videos can vary depending on where you live. It’s always best to check the legalities before you get started.
