Genealogy company MyHeritage is putting deepfake technology to a creatively unsettling use with a new feature called Deep Nostalgia. The system animates photographs of long-deceased loved ones, turning old still portraits into uncanny blinking and smiling videos.
Deepfake technology has been rapidly evolving over the past few years and generally stoking conversations over how close we are to completely losing faith in the veracity of the images we encounter. So far, the technology is still in its infancy but MyHeritage is presenting a novel use of deepfakes, bringing to life still photographs of dead relatives.
Called Deep Nostalgia, the technology comes from Israel-based company D-ID. Users can upload old photographs of deceased relatives and the system automatically enhances the image before applying a deepfake algorithm to deliver a short animated video of the subject.

These faked videos are just that, fakes. Never mind that they might resemble reality - insofar as they differ, we would typically have no means of identifying exactly how they differ from truth. So we are left with an illusion of seeing something, but to lesser or great degree it will be false like a false memory.
We really don’t need more lies in our lives.
Yep! That’s the first thing that came to my mind. Especially since the people desire deception more than truth..in general..like demonrats for example. Watching that motion pic made my stomach drop to my ankles and made me nauseous.
