       | I found a use for face-swapping recently, when working with
       | Stable Diffusion animations. The main challenge there is keeping
       | the frames consistent between each other. Generating a face and
       | then face-swapping it on the full animation helps with the
       | consistency.

         | Such software attract all kind of people including the casuals
         | who end up creating github issues for problems that can be
         | solved with a single google search or reading the docs. I got
         | tired of multiple issues regarding ffmpeg and ended up dropping
         | this in there. Not very proud.

       | Want to cast a new actor and see what they would look like as

       | Since there's an onnx model this should be possible to export to

         | This gets really spicy when it can be adapted to run realtime
         | so you can map a face on a Teams call, etc. and combine with
         | voice mapping so you can seamlessly impersonate someone for
         | those "It's me" extortion calls to grandmas. All of those hours
         | of Tiktoks are now an endless goldmine for scammers...

           | On the other hand, since you mentioned Teams, I foresee some

             | For this you can already use a prerecorded video as a
             | camera from OBS. The challenge is what to do when asked,
             | and faking someone else doesn't offer any improvement for
             | that.

         | Actually I think making this kind of AI easier to access is a
         | way to reduce the negative effects of this kind of tools. If
         | only ML engineers can make deepfakes, people are actually going
         | to believe deepkfakes.
         | 
         | If every 12yo asshole kid flood the internet with deepfakes,
         | then people will actually realize that anybody can fake a
         | video, and stop believing everything they see, which will
         | greatly reduce the potential for misinformation/harassment/the
         | spread of false rumors about people

           | I would be inclined to think this as well. The problem is,
           | large numbers of people will still accept the fakes when it
           | suits their beliefs, and they will claim fake on real footage
           | that doesn't mesh with their beliefs.
           | 
           | This will definitely accelerate the decline of humanity, but
