  1. Well its actually create damage as well as creating loophole, says 1 individual actually did pornographic material without deepfake, and when confronted, they can say…. well thats not me for real… someone might have been deepfake my foto…. In conclusion it's double edge sword depending on how you look at it.

  2. Honestly, who gives a f*ck?

  3. Remind me of the song called, (it wasn’t me) 🤣😂🤣😂

  4. Who cares if it’s fake. It’s for entertainment

  5. This is a gift from heaven for ugly men who want to chat up pretty girls on the net.

  6. 10years later. This is aint news. People have been modding for years.😂 so random

  7. Was this done in the RKELLY case?

  8. This is ridiculous; however you want AI

  9. It's been around for years now 😏

  10. Your remedial if you can’t see the fakeness in the vids.

  11. Some damm good deepfakes out there!👍

  12. Men aren't looking at the different faces in sexually explicit deep fakes….we already have faces of our own.

  13. So now someone can make a video using your face doing bad things to use against you later.

  14. This is why we can't have holodecks.

  15. funny how politicians use deepfake to support their own agenda

  16. You can tell they are fake! Whoever did this should have used Davinci Resolve Studio's surface tracker.

  17. The world is heading into a depression due to the economic destruction of the pandemic, I'm so happy that even with the current situation I'm still earning €17,400 with my original €3,000 stock. Venturing into equities

  18. I cannot stand Kat Tenbardge she's nuts!

  19. Most people are fakes anyway so it doesn’t matter.

  20. But keep advancing technology hahaha

  21. This is why metadata on photo/video already exists.

  22. Ads should have manual checks, because these days ads is annoying, bait, and more like scam. This is not the first, META or Google should manually check up

  23. Downfall of society is nay

  24. This is dangerous.. people can now get set up

  25. Again, Zuckerberg's Meta is allowing this to happen

  26. The guys with the kool-aids in hand don't care that's it's a deepfake.

  27. Is this what FOX news uses for their content? Deep Facts?
