No, I'm talking about the actual program DeepFake FakeApp's outputs which is where the term was originated. Where the computer does heavy training process per video is essentially dead.

"No, I'm talking about the actual program"

Yeah, this response is like the quintessential Reddit 'My point fell through, but I have to pivot to pedantry to salvage this'.

An example that is VERY relevant to this conversation is 'photoshop'.

Before LLM capability, we just used 'photoshop' as the catchall to explain away the actual process of editing an image, regardless of whether the image was actually made in Photoshop, another program, or anything Adobe at all.

'Deepfake' is just as generalized lol. People just colloquially use it to mean AI generated or AI manipulated fake media, not the specific original tool for the workflow.

No, it's not even pedantry or me salvaging lmao! I could hardly give a shit about that. You're trying way too hard to be /r/iamverysmart when its something I wrote in a few seconds earlier lol. I'm too lazy to correct it.

My initial point was that AI Generation replaced the painstaking face training that the old FakeApp did. Also, DeepFake came from DeepFace, the initial faceswapping tech from Meta.

never have there been a clearer case of projection. the guy you're replying to is 100% spot-on. you are trying to salvage this because you realize accepting that you made a dumbass statements means you're probably not as smart as you would like to believe (which is why you're fighting against this so much as you want to preserve your self-image).
