There was also this project that was posted a couple days ago: https://blog.metaphysic.ai/controllable-deepfakes-with-gauss...

Why they call a virtual avatar a deepfake beats me though....

What's the difference? In both cases you're simulating somebody's face in a way that doesn't actually require having the original to drive it.

If you can "wear" the face of someone else then that seems like deepfake territory.
