Deepfake Technology Live Demonstration

Overview

  • The speaker discusses new software that enables streaming deep fakes in real time, specifically mentioning Deep Face Live.
  • Comparison to previous depict videos which required significant processing time.

Key Features

  • Deep Face Live allows live use of deep fake models.
  • Ability to impersonate personalities like Jim Carrey and Sylvester Stallone in real time.
  • The fun aspect of using the technology is noted, comparing it to playing VR.

Current Experiment

  • The speaker plans to prank co-workers by using Deep Face Live to assume the identity of a colleague named Ren.
  • Intends to create a perfect deep fake model of Ren to deceive others.

Process of Creating Deep Fakes

  1. Data Collection:
    • Collect various examples of Ren’s face under different conditions (expressions, angles, lighting).
    • Use sentences that contain every phoneme to capture a variety of mouth shapes.
  2. Training the AI:
    • Initial training on random faces to teach the AI facial structure basics.
    • Gradually replace random faces with Ren’s face.
    • Final stage includes training the model on the speaker's own face to refine expressions.
  3. Machine Setup:
    • Utilizes a machine with three 30 90 GPUs for training which will take approximately two weeks.

Additional Tools

  • ExpressVPN:
    • Mentioned as a sponsorship. Provides internet encryption and allows access to geo-restricted content.

Results of Experiment

  • The speaker demonstrates the deep fake on co-workers, receiving mixed reactions.
    • Some colleagues quickly identified the deception, while others were initially confused.
    • Notable feedback includes observations about the difference in facial expressions and overall impressions.

Outcomes and Learnings

  • Discussion on the effectiveness of the deep fake technology and the possibility it holds.
  • Reflection on voice matching as a future challenge for deeper immersion.
  • Plans for further experiments, possibly impersonating a celebrity on platforms like Omegle.

Conclusion

  • Excitement for the capabilities of deep fake technology, mixed with caution about its implications.
  • Encouragement to subscribe for future experiments with deep fakes.
