Sign up for the free Boolean Coding Week, starting 16th January: on.boolean.co.uk/boyd-coding-...
This week I wanted to find out how difficult it is to make convincing deepfakes. I set the milestone at 100 hours of learning and present my results.
I used DeepFaceLab to make this: github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab
Inspired by the work of ‪@CtrlShiftFace‬
My name is Mike Boyd and I make videos documenting my process of learning stuff really fast! Subscribe for more upcoming videos and feel free to tell me what you'd like me to learn next in the comments.

@iggysixx Жыл бұрын

Thx Mike. Fan for YEARS and years now. (You always seem to find things I wanna know myself) About this one, my comments / suggestions: One difficult thing about YOUR face: the beard. It makes it difficult for the AI to see the contours, and match it to (in particular) beardLESS individuals). Also, I think specifying which part of the face = "a face" matters a lot. (A lot of the (super janky) fake looking ones involve people with bangs, for instance. I reckon you defined the face up to the bangs in those. My suggestion is to define it until where the hairline SHOULD start, even when you can't see it.... > GUESS-TIMATE < basically) In your case, I would suggest feeding it lots and lots and lots of images of people WITH BEARD (or 'facial hair' / douchebag chin strap / stubble / mustache / handlebars / sideburns / unibrows, etc etc.), and to really take some time defining where the chin and jaw line would be UNDERNEATH the facial hair. (Otherwise the AI will try to put your 1/1 face onto 3/4 of a face because hair is in the way...) - In general, I think the main trick to quality here is just building and building and BUILDING the amount of references the AI has to work with.

Well done, Mike, interesting video that really gives us a feel for the level of effort involved. Surprisingly hard, yet surprisingly difficult to get right. But not so difficult as an amateur couldn't do this convincingly! Spooky.

Like you, I have spent loads of time learning DeepFace Lab. It's a pretty steep learning curve, but it's fun to do. I've found the most important, and most difficult thing is, finding a source and destination face that match. If they both don't have similar face shape, particularly the jaw line, you won't get good results. Sometimes a source and destination will look similar in frontal view, but different in profile. Other than that, the most important thing is patience.

Hey Mike, I've had an idea for a kind of trick bouncing around my head for a while now, but I don't have the skill to test it. Basically, it combines spinning a pen with something similar to the front flip throws seen in soccer to launch an object like a pen or pencil. The idea would be to flip a pen/pencil around your fingers, back and forth across your hand, and to time that with a kind of front or diagonal flip in such a way that it minimizes the loss of momentum on the pen before launching it.

@nichtsistkostenlos6565 Жыл бұрын

The concept of deepfakes is already common knowledge. So, the problem is actually that as the technology gets better, everything recorded now has plausible deniability. You can't really blackmail people, because the video or audio evidence isn't enough to prove they did it. Basically, we may need to build AI to fight deepfakes by detecting AI manipulation.

I think the thing is that the best looking deepfake is always going to be a combination of both deepfakes and vfx to "clean up" and mistakes that are output. I think right now we dont have the compute power to make something that is very convincing yet even though what we have is leagues and bounds from what it started from. Probably needs a couple more years to hone it in but what we have now is still really good.

I didn't use another other programs other than Deepfacelab. For some 1080p clips I upscaled to 4k using Topaz upscaler. But no compositing or after effects type processing was performed. Some shots just looked better. Also, I reshot "my face" in the studio and outdoors which seemed to produce better results too.
