And how do you know this video isn't real history and all the other Apollo videos aren't deep fakes? Answer seems obvious now, but once the generation that was alive during Apollo dies off, this is a likely conspiracy candidate that will take root in some skeptical future generation.
We are increasingly living in an age of misinformation where it is becoming more difficult to tell what is true and what is not without significant effort.
This tech I'm sure CCP will use extensively to shape history/propaganda however they want.
I am more curious how they did the audio than the video. From experience, it's not nearly as easy to clone someone's voice as you might think.
It might be that they just found a good voice actor. That's what most deepfake videos do now. But maybe someday it will be possible to press a button and hear a beautiful result.
The audio is also generated. We used speech2speech voice conversion for this, so it is indeed more involving than TTS, for instance, but also more expressive and controllable. Here's another example: https://youtu.be/t5yw5cR79VA
