> haven't seen an example that was anything other than creepy, and really really obvious. Do you think I'm just really sensitive to this kind of thing, or have I not seen the really good examples?
Here's a really good example (the video, not the audio, which the creators say was intentionally degraded):
So my positive take is that this is the best (or worst depending on your perspective) I've seen for sure.
The negative take is that this still looks really fake to me. His eyes are dead, his head whips around weirdly, his neck undulates and flickers, his face doesn't appear attached to his head, etc. Also, due to how Obama looks he may be easier than other people (ie no hair).
Also, this isn't exactly what OP was talking about, though it's similar. They were talking about replacing faces, whereas this is (I presume) actually 100% Obama video from his various speeches reconstituted. So tbc my reaction was to the various videos I've seen of _that_, none of which have been remotely convincing.
