Another person in the comments section revealed, “These are called as deep fakes. In deep fakes, the training model captures the actor’s face, studies the movements, and reconfigures it to a new face, RG as in above example.”
He added, “Deep fakes can be a threat as it can be used to show fake testimonials.”
