Over the past couple of years, you've likely heard about the landmark imaging technology that allows people to realistically edit others into videos they were never in known as deepfaking.
Back in 2019, such technology allowed users of a certain app to edit themselves into famous movie scenes and also empowered Game Of Thrones fans to complain about the final season using the show's own characters.
But while that was already impressive and a little creepy at the time, it seems deepfake tech has advanced to the point where it's possible to make edited videos look almost indistinguishable from the genuine article.
And a recent example that saw what appeared to be Tom Cruise's TikToks explode online has made concerns regarding what could happen if this technology fell into less innocent hands all the more pressing.
