Celebrating the use of deepfake technology for entertainment, education, and enlightenment.
Too many people create deepfakes for nefarious purposes, like nonconsensual pornography or political misinformation. As a modest countermeasure, we have compiled some of our favorite deepfakes from the past five years. As a reminder, our definition of “deepfake” is broad enough to encompasses AI-generated content in any medium, regardless of whether it strives for realism. The following examples explore the deepfake medium in fascinating, creative, and compelling ways.
Have we overlooked your favorite deepfake? Let us know and we’ll add it to the list!
