I posted the Böhmermann incident 2 minutes prior and see it more as an example for the state of the art in video manipulation. I think its hard to see the response back then as an example of future interaction with the topic of video fakes. Which when it comes to altering faces in videos is still in the future.

I edited the post you replied to with "in a video." in the first sentence to clearify

His response was generated by a GAN.

Could you elaborate? I dont understand what you are talking about

It's ironic that on a discussion about copying images of parts of someone's body over to images of another person's platz would ask "did we really post that link at the same time, or did you edit your other response to match?" i.e. copying over parts of one person's comment to another person's.

(And the GAN is the neural network model which does these transformations)
