Hardly any industry is as innovative as pornography industry. From distribution of super-8 films over VHS to online payment services UndStreamingplattformen, pornography industry has had more influence on new technologies than many think. VirtuelleRealität and Sexroboter are next major business. But beyond mainstream, a small scene is currently discovering something else: software that can replace faces of VonPornodarstellern with those of celebrities.
Deepfakes Heißendie resulting clips in scene – following GleichnamigenReddit user who had kicked off trend at end of last year with GefälschtenPornovideos, among ors, Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift UndGal Gadot. The corresponding Reddit forum now has nearly 30,000 subscribers waiting for new videos and GIFs. Or even Welcheerstellen and share – which in this case is unlawful, but difficult to follow in practice. But more on legal aspects later.
The phenomenon of exchanging one's face using VonSoftware with anor is not new. Fake celebrity Pornosgibt It for decades and with so-called faceswapping have integrated both platforms like Yahoo as AuchApps as Snapchat DasselbePrinzip into ir services – less to create damitmöglichst realistic fakes, but first and foremost As a gag: Jeabsurder swap, better meme.
With neural networks to better fakesNew is technology that is now ACCORDINGTOWHG. Swapping photos nochvergleichsweise Easy, it crude in videos often. That changes sichjetzt. The research project Face2Faceetwa allows to transfer in real time facial expressions and Bewegungeneines recorded face to a person's video. Experts from chip manufacturer Nvidia can now make Winteraufnahmenzu summer shots and a third software tries to learn "photographic look".
It is possible to make all developments in field of artificial intelligence, more specifically deep neural networks. These NeuronalenNetzwerke (which we explain in more detail here) are trained with large amounts of data and könnenanschließend create new links independently. They can be used in many ways, which are now – not surprisingly – discovered by pornographic enthusiasts.
In Gesprächmit online magazine Morboarderklärte user named Deepfakes in December, how easy it is to get a halbwegsansehnlichen face swap. He has meanwhile developed a EigenständigeAnwendung called FAKEAPP, with which or users Verändernkönnen videos without much knowledge. FAKEAPP is based on software that is available free of charge; Google, for example, offers a neural network with TensorFlow, allow has spawned psychedelic pictures DeepDream.
Between Zombie and HollywoodTo forge a short scene using FAKEAPP, it requires at least 400 to 500 images of "target person", says DerEntwickler. The more photos, sharper se are and more angles, better. Also, people whose faces are exchanged should look similar to Sicheinigermaßen. Between six and twelve hours NeuronaleNetzwerk is n trained before result is finished: In this case animierteGifs, which are only for a few seconds. Complete scenes or even whole films need a lot more input and training: too many movements UndEinstellungen are still overwhelmed by algorithms.
So it should not look... © screenshotAt all, many of experiments presented on Reddit, both for pornography and for parody purposes, are more creepy than sexy. From over DemKopf flying eyebrows to defaced faces, everything is re. But re are also experiments that could seem amazingly real, or at least a little pinched eyes could maintain an illusion. In an attempt, Deepfakes has re-created a scene from StarWars: Rogue One with Princess Leia. The result is not much worse than original, which comes from computers of special effects department in Hollywood.
Deepfakes wants to refine its software in coming weeks. "Users should be able to select a video on ir computer, a neural network with a face from a database over running and n get a new video with swapped faces," said anonymous developer journalist from Morboard.
