None of them are Carrie Fisher. Top one is CGI and is from the movie, bottom one is another actress + deepfake. It's supposed to show that the deepfake one is just as good as the Hollywood one.


> bottom one is another actress + deepfake

You sure? Didn't they just run the deepfake algorithm (trained on photos of young Carrie) on the CGI scene? So it went from "Hollywood CGI actress" to "allegedly improved deepfake actress"...


Bottom one is CGI + deepfake, as far as I understand. I don't see how it could be otherwise.

They basically just ran the algorithm on the existing movie scene.

The result is a fairly plausible Carrie Fisher, made more plausible (to my eyes) with deepfake. Obviously it helps that someone already made the original fake Carrie Fisher, because deepfake had to do less work, but it highlights the fact that deepfake could be useful in the industry: Make a plausible CGI version, and then improve it with deepfake.


So you're saying that is from one of the "new new" star wars movies, after Carrie Fisher's death? [I live under a rock, sorry.]


It's from Rogue One, which is set just before the original and thus needed a double for young Carrie Fisher.


Ok but are you saying either one is nick cage?


Neither, it was a different experiment with the same tech.


How'd he get another video without cgi
