Millions of people watched Tom Cruise play golf and do magic tricks on TikTok.

Thing is, it's actually not Tom Cruise at all. It's a deepfake - meaning, technology to make it appear it's Tom Cruise, when in reality it isn't.

A deepfake video typically involves swapping one person’s face onto the body of someone else, using a kind of artificial intelligence technique known as a “generative adversarial network” to match the target’s facial movements with the new face.

 

I repeat: this is not really Tom Cruise.

I don't even want to begin what the implications are for this - especially in the pop music world.

Exhale, thoughts? Are you frightened? Intrigued? Sound off. BTW this is really me. :surejan:

IDK when I saw these I legit and to keep re-reading to make SURE it wasn't actually Tom Cruise. This legit will haunt me lol

This is def the most convincing deep fake that I have seen - you can't see the pixelation like you typically can. I guess they are still working hard on progressing their technology. I don't like it.
