Show HN: DarkGen – Create deepfake videos of anyone

[justasking7000]

I spent 2 months training a custom deepfake video model that anyone can now use.

This is frighteningly good. Not quiiiiiite good enough to pass for an actual video of the person - the audio's a bit off, the video is ever so slightly out of sync - but a few generations more and we'll be there.

I wonder if there's a "happy" (dare I use that term) sweet spot for deepfakes in our world -- they're just good enough to get you to chuckle ("Hi I'm Barack Obama and I'm wishing you, John Smith, a very happy birthday!") but not so good that anyone thinks it's actually him.

I'm currently training the next model I think this next one looks much harder to tell.

What's the tech stack? Insightface? Also, this seems like it'll be taken down soon by some cease and desist.

[justasking7000]

It's a custom model I trained.

I think there is a pretty terrible bug. I just bought some credits to try it out but they are not showing up at all. The money was deducted from my balance though.

[justasking7000]

Hi sorry about this. It should be fixed.

[sureglymop]

Okay, worked now thanks!

[hef19898]

Oh, you should really be incredibly proud of yourself...

[justasking7000]

Thanks! It took a lot of effort ngl but glad ppl appreciate it.

[hef19898]

You were so busy thinking if can build such deeply disturbing piece of software that forgot to stop for a second and think about you wether should...

[juujian]

Disturbing.

[justasking7000]

It's just meant for fun
