The audience has rediscovered Keanu Reeves, after the enormous success of the John Wick saga; The actor’s career has been revitalized and the offers start to rain again. So much, that he just doesn’t have time to accept them all.
What if we use A.I to help with those offers. What if we used this technology to implant Reeves’ face and possibly his character to be in multiple films simultaneously? Although you might think it would be too noticeable, the truth is that the so-called “deepfakes” have come a long way in just a few months.
These algorithms use machine learning to implement a person’s face in videos they are not in. Since this is the age of the Internet, it was initially used to put the faces of actresses and famous actors in porn videos; But over time, it has also revealed itself as an ideal tool for creating memes or viral videos.
This is the case of the latest videos created with deepfakes, in which Keanu Reeves “steals” the role from other actors. If you always thought Reeves should have obtained the role of Forest Gump, you’re in luck; Would it have been the same movie?
But that is not the most shocking one yet. What has really cringed our imagination is this video where Reeves’ face is implanted in young boys and girls. Not only that, they are singing children songs in a Sesame Street episode. Seeing our Keanu singing with the voice and body of a girl is something shocking, and cannot ever be unseen.
It is true that these tools help generate a lot of laughs, but it is also clear that they can be used for other unholy purposes. The future is in the hands of Meme artists and we are just along for the ride.
