OK, this viral AI live stream software is truly terrifying

Remember when AI image generation seemed like a goofy novelty fad? It wasn't so long ago that images produced by even the best AI image generators were so full of artifacts that there wasn't much danger of them fooling anybody (apart from the judges of art competitions). AI video was even less usable.

But trending on Github this week was a piece of software called Deep-Live-Cam, and it could be the advance in deepfake tech that some have been dreading. It appears to allow anyone to instantly convert a single image into a deepfake live stream, letting you wear anyone's face and perform with it live over the internet.
