What are deepfakes?
Deepfakes are artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content, often videos, that manipulate or replace the likeness of a person in a way that appears realistic. They use deep learning algorithms to superimpose or swap faces, creating convincing but fake footage.

A deepfake generator is a tool or software that employs these AI algorithms to facilitate the creation of such content. It allows users to manipulate and generate videos by seamlessly swapping faces or altering facial expressions, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence for creative or, in some cases, deceptive purposes.
