Tom Cruise AI Deepfake TikTok
At first glance, this actor may actually be able to convince people on social media that it’s actually Tom Cruise, but upon closer inspection, you’ll realize it’s just a very realistic deepfake. The voice acting is almost near perfect, although some parts aren’t properly synced. Where artificial intelligence really shines is the face tracking and lighting, which appear to be immaculate, except for some parts when a pair of sunglasses are removed.



Just how popular is this person on TikTok? Well, “deeptomcruise” has gained 236,000 followers in a matter of days, even though TikTok states that users may not impersonate any person, entity, or falsely state your affiliation, including giving the impression that any “content you upload, post transmit, distribute or other wise make available emanates from the services.”
