hey sisters James Charles here and
welcome back to my youtube channel you
guys you guys you guys okay you think
there's so much for watching I love you
so much and I'll see you next week over
the next 24 hours we are going to be
creating deep fakes of some of the most
famous youtubers in the world now if
you've never heard of a deep fake before
it's essentially a type of identity swap
where you can take somebody else's face
say a celebrity's put it on your own and
then start acting and saying things that
maybe they would never say I'm so
nervous for them my caddy I don't know
like making a depict sounds hard they're
increasing realism and the fact that
average non professionals have access to
this technology now has become a big
concern for the general public
well we already hit a roadblock and I
download all the stuff and then found
out immediately that it doesn't actually
exists anymore
but I think I found another one called
deep base lab which is open source and I
think it'll be a better choice for us
brainstorm session yeah
whatever they're trying to brainstorm
with yours and yeah I know I know the
culture I know what we need nine seven
like some David dobra like do you bake
them Eliza Kochi and david dobrik
getting back together
okay I think we should go intending I
think that's like the thing to do
because I remind people we don't know
because make don't tell anyone
oh this guy who's always like hey oh
there Shane Dawson and Robin Adams this
partner Obie thought getting one saying
hey Vsauce Michael here oh my god and
you're gonna look like red and you kinda
look like Lane but the word busted
rhettandlink KC nice that would be good
he has a very distinct face that's right
I feel like he has a distinct way pocket
that's actually a good one I moved to
Ellen it just seems like this isn't
gonna be what makes it work that doesn't
look are you sure that's not just like a
full-on virus
we'll find out the amateur technology
that we are using today originated only
in 2017 from a redditor named deep fake
hence the common name deep fake the
reason this technology was created was
to put celebrities faces on to
pornography but the reason we have
enjoyed deep fakes is when they are used
to make really funny videos on the
internet like this my favorite is
probably at Lisa Vanderpump
my least-favorite I don't want to have
to say because who knows when you're
gonna run into these people you know
seen any of these so I want you to read
this one first
what he said yeah that's what he said
[Laughter]
based on our research of defects it is
really important if the person that you
choose has a similar face to you that
eliminate our scope of youtubers but we
still have an epic Bullis and so now
we're going to practice our voices and
practice our sort of impersonations so
Mitch is gonna be hazy nice that so we
need to brainstorm how we pull this off
yeah I don't know I'm trying to think of
like an aesthetic that looks like his
because it'll be easier to match the
face if we're in sort of similar
settings
what about like that at the background
of the Tequesta yeah we get yeah even
act some guys I like technology but I
think that you and him will be a really
convincing deep play so right now I'm
just taking up video of Shane Dawson
that we had that has like decent
lighting we're gonna try and match it
basically the computer has figured out
where Greg's features are if we go
through figure out his jawline figure
out the rough perspective eyebrows all
the main features so that it can then
impose Shane Dawson's face I'm here with
these similar features
hey you guys like hey there's a lot of
eyelid specialist you haven't been
watching it from morning tonight like
you guys you don't even understand this
brush and you're gonna make sure you put
it over your eyes under your eyes I
absolutely love this brush is actually
you guys is actually insane cuz there's
what it's made of this like really
interesting edible fur so when you're
done with it you just pop it your mouth
that's like it's like it's a frog or a
turtle mixed with a human okay so this
is where the magic happens so we're
actually training the neural network
right now so in column 1 and column 2
our actual photos of Greg and Shane that
are real and the columns right beside
them so this one and this one this is
the computer slowly trying to learn how
to recreate Shane phase and recreate
Greg spacing it will become more clear
as we go forward but what it's doing is
it's taking the shape of Greg's face and
putting Shane Dawson's face on it so
obviously at the very beginning it's not
gonna be very good at it it means a lot
of time to process it needs iterations
right now it's only at 1,700 iterations
how many of me we maybe want like a
hundred thousand or two hundred thousand
what
yeah I've taken like only a few thousand
iterations just so we can see it tracked
on it's bad but it gives us a sense of
words go so it's gonna be Jane Kang it's
gonna look really blurry because the
computer hasn't done a lot of training
but this is very early
you can start to see his features now in
the past this kind of technology was
reserved for high-level experts or like
visual effects artists but now we've
seen that even we people who have never
dealt with this before have downloaded a
free program and within hours have a
good sense of how it works thankfully
there are now media forensic agencies
developing that are creating software's
and their own technologies to tell if a
video is real or fake in particular ones
that threaten national security but
already deep fakes have been used to put
people's faces into porn without their
consent and there's a genuine concern
with how this technology could be used
to blackmail people with fake video ok
the sun's going down I've got a new
thing going over here with Casey and
over here we have Shane still working
out I'm gonna start a third one on my
laptop which isn't that powerful but I'd
rather just have a bunch going at once
because it takes so long that I'd rather
just a crappy computer we trying it's
best we do all know that technology
advances a lot faster than laws and
regulations so it's sort of the Wild
Wild West for this type of thing in fact
Facebook said they're not gonna take
deep fakes off of their platform and it
led to someone making a deep fake of
Mark Zuckerberg saying what we're about
to show you and putting it on Facebook
to see what they would do I wish I could
keep telling you that our mission in
life is connecting people but it isn't
Spectre showed me how to manipulate you
into sharing intimate data about
yourself and all those you love for free
there's a lot of scary future scenarios
where this technology is we don't really
know yet what its gonna do but in the
meantime it is kind of fun so let's get
back to the fun ok you're ready to see
the deep the defects are done we're
gonna watch them we do have to admit we
did more than 24 hours because we want
to do set we did set me that's have been
pretty easy to do but the timing takes a
while take your seats grab your popcorn
let's go watch it here they are
last to leave their child at the side of
the road goes to jail for seven years
and wins $10,000 bail last to leave

up everybody welcome back to my channel
hi how are you now
you know you cannot buy jeffree star you
see these doggy treats authentic Jaguar
liver five thousand dollars a pop this

everybody welcome back to my channel hi
how are you
now you know you cannot buy jeffree star
you see these doggy treats authentic
jaguar liver five thousand dollars a pop
this big girl
this ain't no basic [ __ ] it's oil from
the now and this toilet paper 5000
applied now that's the tea honey we are
going to be meeting the coast were can
see the woman who introduced the british
to you i have a lot of questions
haha we are going to be meeting the
ghost of Braganza see the woman who
introduced a british to team i had a lot
of questions
bro I'm so disappointed bro I'm mad bro
yo Jake Jake watch this bro you always
gone that back bro
think of this you're my brother bro so
you are my bro bro you see that bro
science bro bro bro
Wow well broke up but Bob bro I'm still
disappointed bro I'm mad bro yo Jake
Jake watch this bro you always got my
back bro
think of this you're my brother bro so
you are my bro bro you see that bro
science bro bro bro bro what bro but I
think the most interesting part was how
fast we did that we don't have the
strongest computers and so it's just
interesting to think of what someone
else could do with a lot more time we
hope you now have more of an
understanding of how deep fakes are made
so you're not left in the dark
researchers have found that online
hoaxes spread 10 times faster than
accurate information which sort of makes
sense because as humans were hardwired
to respond to extreme emotional
information which is easily made up and
spread on social media and the last
thing we all can do is pressure major
news media to show fake video beside
original video so we can understand
where those changes are being made we do
live in a world where we ourselves you
yourself are in charge of making sure
that the information that you are
getting is trustworthy we do kind of all
have to be our own editors and just
because you're not a journalist doesn't
mean you can't fight fake news or fight
the misuse of deface we actually teamed
up with the Canadian journalism
foundation for this video with their
important message that if you see
information online and you're unsure
about it you should doubt it check it
and challenge it it's an election year
here in Canada there's gonna be one in
America if you're in a democracy sort of
happening all over the world those are
important times for you to be thinking
about this message thanks again to the
Canadian journalism foundation for
supporting this video and helping us
with lots of different resources and
thank you so much for watching sharing
liking and all that we will see you next
time for another science video
yeah
