DeepFake hasn’t busted onto the scene quite yet. However, the anxiety related to it is already kicking in. Fake news and cyber crimes have infiltrated our lives, and we know the dangers associated with it. As a result of the rapid evolution of AI, which is intertwined with the sophistication of deepfake, an air of uncertainty is felt, as the negative connotation attached to it isn’t just a distant dystopian hypothesis.
Fal.ai is a new tool that utilizes your webcam to morph your appearance into the character you script. Operating in real-time at over 40 frames per second, it is presently available at no cost.
Fal presents a freely accessible public demo. Upon entry, it requests permission to access the webcam. Users need to input a prompt specifying the character they wish to embody. The outcome is a real-time video reflecting the chosen character’s appearance. The deepfake rendition also mirrors our clothing accessories and replicates our movements, such as hand gestures, smiles, etc.
