Someone created an algorithm to replace the face of an actress in a porn movie by that of the star of Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot.
A video of Gal Gadot fucking with his half-brother is circulating on the web. This is not the real body of Gal Gadot and it's not really his face. It is an approximation created by computer. A face replacement to give the impression it gives in incestuous porn.
This video was made with a machine learning algorithm, easily accessible computer hardware and free code. A video that anyone with a good knowledge of deep learning algorithms can achieve.
Like Adobe's tool for making anyone say anything to anyone and the Face2Face algorithm to transpose a person's face movements to another in real time, this porn video shows that we are about to enter a future where it's easy to make credible videos of someone doing or saying what you want. Even fuck.
So far, Deepfakes has posted Reddit porn videos featuring Scarlett Johansson, Maisie Williams, Taylor Swift and Aubrey Plaza, in addition to Gal Gadot.
The fake porn of celebrities, for example photos modified to make believe that they are naked, dates back several years already and has greedy consumers. People who comment and vote in forums on Reddit where deepfakes uploads his videos admire his work. This is the latest progress in the field.
According to deepfakes,the software works with several free libraries, such as Keras and TensorFlow. To compile the faces of celebrities, he uses the search for Google images, photo banks and videos on YouTube.
Deep learning consists of networks of nodes that autonomously perform calculations from the data they are fed. In this case, deepfakes fed them into porn videos and pictures of Gal Gadot's face. After they have received enough data, the network nodes organize themselves to perform a particular task, such as manipulating a video convincingly.
"It's no longer a wizard," he says.
The ease with which you can get there is terrifying. In addition to the necessary computer equipment, all you need is a good amount of pictures of a face. Many of us are creating ever-enriched banks of our minds: the world has uploaded 24 billion selfies to Google Photos in 2015 and 2016. So it's not hard to imagine amateur programmer can create with this algorithm a porn video of a person to whom he wishes to attack.
In almost all the examples that deepfakes has put online, the result is flawed. In Gal Gadot's video, a box sometimes appears around the actress's face and the original image then appears. In addition, mouth and eye movements do not always match the words spoken. Other videos of deepfakes are however more convincing.
Gal Gadot is so beautiful! I'm in love with her personality and that never happened to me before.
He released his source code together with training data of Nicolas Cage and Donald Trump in this reddit thread
This would ruin a lot of reputations. AI is already causing troubles and this needs to be stopped before there's mass adoption.
I really don't think it can be stopped. Looking at the published code, the implementation is not that complex. There will always be someone able to create counterfeit videos like this with enough images of a person's face.
And there are much worse applications for this than fake celebrity porn. Just imagine faking evidence in court cases in order to get rid of someone.
While there are still many errors in the videos he created, I think it is only a matter of time until someone fixes those and creates a better version. It's actually strange that nobody else has done this before, considering the relatively small amount of effort involved.
yes,it's completely true
yes it's really a problem
ive secretly been waiting for the day when AI could fill in the gaps of some of my collections. they have been talking about this for years. its inevitable
yes, and video quality will improve

Interesting use of ML to say the least
