I learned to make Deepfakes... and the results are terrifying 

Imagine deepfaking your face into movies and raising your kids thinking you were a massive actor back in the day

As a computer vision engineer, I approve that our work mostly consists of changing two lines of code, and "Leaving it overnight".

The amount of skills Mike has is pretty unbelievable.

The Spider-Man one worked surprisingly well It probably helps in that scene that’s the first unmasking in the film and we the viewers take the role of Harry Osborn for this scene who has no clue who spidey actually is…

You are perfect for a mr. Bean deepfake. I know this because in the beginning I thought you actually did that. It is the first time watching your channel so i didn’t know it was actually you. Great work!

Comment below your favorite deepfake... 🤣

I laughed so hard at those first attempts, almost had a bout of hysterics

It's nice seeing deepfakes being learnt by other youtubers. You got pretty good results for a month! I've been training breaking bad characters for weeks now lol

I am so happy to see Stuff Made Here in your RU-vid feed. One of the best channels on the platform (along with this one, of course).

That was an incredible video! I howled with laughter at some of those faces - the bad ones and the good ones 😂 You are so dedicated and an inspiration 🌟

Pre training machine learning before running a deepfake on Omegle would be hilarious 😂

I always love how well edited your videos are - absolutely incredible

The thing is, if you turn your video quality to 144p at 5:30, it looks pretty convincing, and he learned to make this in about an hour and then just left his computer running for a couple more. Eventually, we will need videos to be 8k and contain many different lightings/settings to know if it's real.

This video was golden. Thank you, Mike. I laughed more these 15 minutes than the entire 2022. Love Zach

Mike- you have been an inspiration to me and my family. Learning new skills no matter what age - having the ‘growth’ mindset. The only beef I have with you is that you are not actually ‘average’ mike. You are highly intelligent and creative and have determination to follow things through. Thanks again for the inspiration!

as much as i liked the movie versions of you, I have to say the introduction where u did the deep fakes was the most impressive by far :) well done!

I hope you take this as a compliment. But amongst the 'productive' channels of youtube, you really draw me in lately as your approach to learning is somewhat more relatable. Something along the line of going to youtube and fumbling along the way.

He actually made me really confident using a 2060, it shows how even modern but not bleeding edge products can still make convincing deepfakes.

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.

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.

This aged really well after the Atrioc thing

This was wonderful in every way. Your end result was so much fun to watch and reflects your delightfully twisted sense of humor in all of the very best ways! Best success to you moving forward.

Love ur vids Mike! Been watching since you posted that kickflip videos yearrssss ago

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.

The Sparta One actually legitimately looked realistic, like I could see you as the actor literally

I've watched every single one of your videos. They're all great... but this was incredible. Loved it!

Great work! Especially Will Young at 13:48

Mike I’m just impressed and proud of how you stay relevant just by being you !! Love ya

When you looked up from the shark I spit out my food 😂 so good!

THANK YOU MIKE! I can always count on you to keep me entertained and sparking ideas and inspiration in me. I Appreciate you! PLEASE KEEP CREATING! We love it!

Happy new year Mike! Glad to see another video!

Trying to deepfake Jim's face would be a nightmare, that dude's rages are huge.

It went from bad (bad) to even worse but absolutely awesome. Had a really good laugh watching this video.

Happy 3 Mill Mike!!!

you should make a video on re-trying the skills youve aquired and see which ones you struggle at now after a while of (not?) using them.

I looked away for 1 second in the intro and the Jim Carrey face scared the crap out of me

The timing is impeccable. Just yesterday, I swear. I'm 21 years old and i finally decided what i want to study and persue as a career. Yesterday, within 24hrs ago i decided i wanted to be a machine learning engineer. Then you drop this video and you drop me a place to begin looking towards as i begin my first steps into learning computer science. You're one hell of a messenger

Very interesting thanks. Your video quality is so crystal clear. May I ask what camera you are using?

Hello Mike Boyd! I was deeply moved by your fantastic video. Could you please provide the link to the guide document mentioned at 10:50 (the one you mentioned you read 10 times)? Thanks again for creating such amazing content!

The Jaws one was a masterpiece. You could have stopped there. 😂

As AI evolves I can imagine how dangerous deepfakes could become. You could create blackmail on someone with just a few images.

The sparta one was actually quite impressive. Grwat video as usual!

This whole video was nestled very deeply into uncanny valley 😂It was soo hard to stop laughing and cringing at the same time

This was super interesting, always wondered how deepfakes worked

Never seen a Video from you before. Thanks for the work put in. Highly interesting topic

What was that awesome guide you used. The big one. I am curious on playing around with this and learning more.

That made me burst out laughing a few times and I'm at work 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice one Mike, absolutely brilliant.

This is terrifying. And should be illegal. The amount of misinformation that can be spread is incredibly concerning.

Dude the Inglorious Basterds clips were amazing!!

The JAWS one was pretty good, then I LOL'd at LOTR. Great results in the end for how long people spend really learning this skill. Great job as always.

This aged well...

Your deepfake worked really well with robert downey jr actually! Would love to see more of that :)

this is the hardest i’ve laughed at one of your videos haha this was so funny. but equally kind of terrifying

Love your videos .. Keep the good the work ..

I feel like where in a time where AI can be great and also horrifying. I call it "Suspension of Disbelief VS Deception"

Mike: How can someone be that handsome? Also Mike: Someone that looks like me…

6:35 Looks like a mashup of Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, & Steve Buscemi. Great video! Thanks for your hard work.

Yo, that jaws one wasn’t terrible. Would love to see more iterations of that one.

Lol this didn't age well xD

Congrats on 3mil!

Yo mike I have a suggestion on what you could learn next, maybe it’s a bit more physical and less technology involved but I think you should learn how to flip a balisong

LOL! I lost it over the Mike Boyd / Gandalf mashup!

NGL, I missed the Day One Hour Zero line. Feels good. Great video btw

The Shelly Duvall caught me off guard for an LOL moment. You should try Dave Matthews... that would probably blend seamlessly.

those last ones were actually seriously good!!! congrats!!

I love the moment u chose for the end result xD. Epic

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.

Really impressive. Fixing the difference between the resoutions and the different skin tones would make these basically indistinguishable

congrats on 3m subscribers!

Such a brilliant video, and effort to learn.This might be future of entertainment, since people would probably like to see themselves in certain games or movies :)

i love your videos Mike, you try learning to juggle knives, im sure past skills will help you

Amazing video as always Mike :) Keep it up!

Will the DF Lab work with AMD Processors and Radeon Graphic Cards as well?

Always love your videos, but this time I even love the topic 😍 More please

Love your videos! Keep up the great work! From the us

Okay the jaws one actually wasn't bad, was hilarious, and also I think chain smoking and/or working a fishing boat would unironically suit mike stylistically.

I was pretty surprised at the end of the video when the sponsor wasn't Ctrl Shift Face. :D

Thet ‘this is sparta’ one is actually very convincing!

Lol that Jaws sequence was incredible

Great movie choices sir!

Love the clips you chose

I literally loved the garbanzo content it was funny as hell! love it, even in the fail is such great product!

8:20 I don't know about you Mike, but I think this was perfection out of the gate

Superb, even excusing what you did to Uma.

Beautiful video, thank you for sharing this

Really cool video Mike, could you make a video with DeepFaceLive too?

Hah, bangin. The pulp fiction at the end was a cracker :p

Excellent video! Thanks.

This has been such a funny episode, but also highly educational as always 😅

Congrats on 3 Million!!

The I am iron man part was so real!! Great job 👏👏

3 desktops and a laptop! How much processing power is that Mike? Do you have the specs? I've just got 1 average desktop so I imagine I'd have to leave it running for a couple of months lol

Dude you are hilarious. And congrats on going 10x over your time budget! I can relate 😭😭😭

The Jaws one has genuinely killed me off.

keep up the work man, brilliant vid!!!

The Spiderman one is bloody brilliant :)) This is so interesting, I'm gonna give this a go - I have a decent PC and many hours to kill.

so what i learned from deepfake is that you get to become a father, teach your kid about the world and then when its old enough and knows what to do, it will do your taxes

How has this been up for over a year with less than a million views? This video is amazing work

There are GUI frontends you can use for DFL.
