talking-head-anime-3-demo VS DeepFaceLive

Talking Head. This is the visual of converting the image into an animated character. This is honestly the hard part. There's vmagicmirror for 3d model vrm/vroid characters. And for anime characters there's talking head anime 3 if you modify it a bit. But other than that there's basically nothing. Some online services can do it for you but not local/offline.

I'm currently using a modified version of this repo which does face/head posing for anime characters. Works okayish and I can run it around 18fps or so which is decent. Seems to be the best thing available atm. not really accurate lipsync (you have to manually enter mouth position) but I mapped "a" viseme to volume and it works well enough lol.

EasyVTuber is based off of Talking Head which has the ability to animate the mouth, eyes, and even the eyebrows with slight head turning and breathing with TrueDepth facial tracking (iPhone): https://github.com/pkhungurn/talking-head-anime-3-demo

https://github.com/pkhungurn/talking-head-anime-3-demo I keep trying to get the above program to work, but I can't find the the repository's root directory so I can unzip the model files into the data/models folder. How do I find the repository's root directory?

https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive. This is the first result Google gives me. Rudimentary, but enough to possibly trick someone who isn't knowledgeable enough. Instead of a fully AI generated person, it is a digital face swap. Essentially, you are correct in that the technological leap towards making a fully interactive deep fake is likely far beyond current technological capabilities. Especially for a scammer. Digitally swapping a face sidesteps that technological limitation.

A more lifelike deformer would be running a 'deepfake' layer over your face motion into your 2D character face, but so far I haven't tried it yet. Here is some example of a well known open source 'faceswapper' : https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive

"Advanced AI" is an expression that makes politicians and decision makers to go on a rampage. Don't get your hopes up, the way the world reacted to ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and stuff like that already suggests all AIs will be pretty much government regulated eventually and people like Eugenia has no way to circumvent this. Add projects like https://github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLive into the mix and you can see the perfect storm brewing up already...
