Deepfakes are simple to make. A simple overview of the artificial intelligence (AI) behind deepfakes: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Encoder-decoder pairs and First-Order Motion Models.

For example this box I just bought (two of) has an Opteron "X3418," but when I look that up, I get some information that says "Bulldozer" with Unified Video Decoder 6 and Video Coding Engine 3.1 ...

That’s particularly true for encoding and decoding. “We really drive home the point that [decoding and encoding] are reciprocal, and they bootstrap each other,” Gillis said.
