I’ve started a list of the best deep fake videos. These are videos of famous people made by A.I.
This is different than the typical documentary I write about.
But the reason I’m keeping a list is that I find it interesting to document the development of A.I. technology for making videos.
So, below you’ll see me name the A.I. tech for each good deep fake video I come across (if it’s shared)
I promise to keep adding to this list.
Enjoy!
