(Not that-)Deep Fake Video of Janhvi Kapoor and Sridevi


 

(Not that-)Deep Fake Video of Janhvi Kapoor and Sridevi 

This speech by Janhvi Kapoor was spoken months after Sridevi's tragic passing. Sridevi's reaction shots are those she had for a fan speech made by Alia Bhatt back in Feb 2018. Clever clogs with an editing app have fused together disparate events and moments to create a not-that-deep fake clip... 

The intention... well, the sentiment might be there but the result is slightly terrifying. If an amateur fanatic online can create this fake video, imagine what else can be done by professionals... How history can be rewritten, how reality can be fudged, how the truth can be bent towards whatever agenda... and this widely distributed. 

See, a time will come when the truth won't matter.. or am I being naïve? 

The truth already doesn't matter.
