Lina, I welcome competition but I can’t support this. This is a blatant copy of our UI (hedra.com) and you are advertising with celebrity deepfakes.

I strongly suggest you follow our example and roll out biometric privacy notices and block celebrity content.

What makes celebrity deepfakes worse than pleb deepfakes?

Neither your nor their model is remotely close to actually fooling anymore, so celebs could only be used for (very funny) obvious satire. I see no risk of harm here.

Also, two boxes for uploading the only two inputs to a model is not a new idea. One could say you stole it from Gradio (but even that's silly).

There's nothing particularly original about the UI, it's literally just a basic image upload and sound upload. I can easily see every hyperscaler AI firm offering something similar within one year so no need to get on your high horse about this.

@mjlbach: Weirdly broken web page. You can't even see samples without creating an account.

While I agree there are potential issues with using celebrity images, their UI is effectively no different to any of the 326432+ examples of handling model input on huggingface spaces.
