I think that's all it's intended to be right? A cool demo. And it looks pretty amazing for what it is really.

We're not going to see The Running Man style/quality fake videos any time soon, and the media kinda runs with this an exaggerates; making people wonder if camera footage may one day no longer be considered evidence.

We're far from that. At the most, the quality of the transfers here is about the same as what you'd see with Deep Fakes (celebrities imposed on top of pornographic models using computer vision and AI algorithms).

Are we really that far?

We ARE that far. Any deep fakes you see in the wild are the hobbyists applying the tech to the lowest common denominator. There are professional state sponsored groups creating serious fake video, easily manipulating presence of people at news worthy incidents.

I think you misunderstood my comment. The comment I replied to said we are far from realistic fakes. I was saying "are we really that far from realistic fakes?", not "are we really that far along?"

Like those janky Bin Laden videos from a few years back?
