    I mean… Cassetteboy was a form of deepfaking. Yes, obvious; Yes, Satire; but it still got an image of Johnson or May in your head, saying (singing) something that they didn’t say.

    If anyone uses this as an excuse to question the validity of elections, they need to be ashamed of themselves.

      Cassetteboy wasn’t really a form of deepfaking, he took clips of them literally saying the words and then pitch adjusted them, that’s all.

      Deepfaking is much more involved, and in terms of audio you typically need a voice actor to make a convincing enough copy. People seem to find it harder to recognise AI images than AI sounds.

      Trey Parker did a great video on deepfakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WfZuNceFDM
