DeepFake
The AI world is changing swiftly, and what it’s capable of continues to push ahead. Among the recent advancements, Deepfake has emerged as an especially captivating platform. It’s an AI-driven website where users can construct and customize their ideal boyfriends and girlfriends.
How could this not become the go-to place for people who want to interact with and/or create lifelike, human-ish avatars? In the not-so-distant future, the conversation one has with a human-like avatar may very well be indistinguishable from the one a person has with their actual partner.
So, what are the highs and lows of Deepfake’s features? Is it just a little creepier than Tinder?
Deepfake uses AI to let users make and alter digital models of their choosing. It sees itself as a communal space where artists and fans of the AI art form can gather to chat, interact, and vote on the morning-after versions of marital fidelity that appear to be the progeny of the platform.
What makes Deepfake so tempting is that it lets users create avatars perfect for whatever purpose they have in mind.
If a user wants to create a female avatar for a job that typically entails a lot of flattering, face-to-face interaction, they can render a female model who, by the staggering standards of the AI art that has already been produced, will look stunning.
The same principle would apply if the user were instead creating an avatar for a male model. The face created would be the best possible male face AI could generate.
Also, the user can do all sorts of things to the model’s apparent age, emotional state, and physical dimensions.
Deepfake provides users with features that allow them to build and interact with their ideal avatars. Among these are offers of a large variety of customization options. You can adjust many different parameters, including what even a death metal band would have trouble with, age (it ranges from 18 to 70 years old), gender, ethnicity, and something you might think isn’t important to the construction of your ideal avatar, specific body characteristics that include abs and body shape.
You can also choose from a wide distribution of various kinds of clothing (some vintage with a 60s feel, some modern and black, and some modifiers that enhance the overall appearance of your model).
Rendering Styles, users can pick from various rendering styles, like anime or photorealistic, to match their tastes. Whether you want a stylized, cartoonish character or a lifelike model, Deepfake has the tools to help you achieve your vision.
Action Modifiers, for those who are into NSFW content, Deepfake offers action modifiers that let you create explicit scenes. You can apply options like cumswapping and different poses to customize your scene.
Deepfake provides a nearly unlimited number of emotions and poses one can apply to their AI model. If you want your model smiling, pouty, or any other type of emotion, the platform has the tools to achieve that.
If you’re interested in making a nude model, Deepfake offers the ability to remove clothing and alter the nudity level of your model.
The platform also offers privacy settings so that you can keep your creations private if you desire.
Community and Collaboration, while Deepfake allows for individual expression and creativity, it is not only a solo experience. The platform is designed for the community of users to come together, share, and engage with one another.
Is Deepfake Available at No Cost? Deepfake provides a free version allowing users to access the platform as a guest. They are allotted 5 credits per day, which can be used to generate 5 images (or fewer) at the platform’s discretion. At first glance, the pro subscription looks like a big ask, mainly since the free version is seemingly relatively generous. Still, if you want to really get into the nitty-gritty of the platform and use its by-and-large customizable and interactive image generation capabilities, you’ll get the pro subscription.
For those who decide on the pro subscription, Deepfake offers a bounteous and hearty experience with a vast array of supplementary components.
One can create a perfect model, or clone away with the 650,000+ premade AI models, give or take a few.
You can change pretty much anything about a model: age, weight, hairstyle (which, with Deepfake, is a pretty major component in changes of appearance), expression, clothing, and even the setting in which a model is placed at a given moment. (You can do this last thing with the regular app, but it’s much easier to do with the pro version.)
The feature called SexyChat lets you have unbridled and uncensored conversations with your AI models. When Pro users want to generate explicit content, they simply use the nudge feature to make any photo they send to the AI a bit more risque. Just how risque is left up to the user’s imaginative powers and, when they are using the AI at its most effective and suggestive, to the AI’s imaginative powers (or, debatable as some might have it, its suggestive powers). And it’s certainly a feature that keeps the possibility, even for some, the necessity, of having fun, front and center.
Speed is the primary benefit of the Pro subscription. As a Pro subscriber, you get access to the same resources as everyone else, but priority access to those resources means that you get to your server a little faster and that you can generate images in a lot less time.
If you have any kind of creation or model that you want to keep private, you can do that too, thanks to a couple of added privacy settings. And it’s really nice that you can browse through the creations and bookmarks of other people who are Pro subscribers. That gives you a chance to see some of what the other Pro subscribers are working on.
Users with a pro subscription enjoy an ad-free experience, which undoubtedly adds to the platform’s overall enjoyability. These users also receive early access to new features and improvements and what could very well be called “dedicated customer support” regarding how promptly any given issue is resolved.
For free users, absolutely nothing. However, Pro subscribers may choose from a few different plans.
Firstly, a monthly plan that costs $24.95 per month.
Then there is an option for 3 months, priced at $54.95 and billed every 3 months.
For a longer commitment, you may choose 6-month plan, which is priced at $99.95 and billed every 6 months.
If you choose to try it and don’t want a long commitment, you can get a 3-day trial for just $4.95 which rebills at $24.95 unless canceled.
Considering a pro subscription’s numerous benefits, these prices aren’t that high.
In conclusion, Deepfake is a powerful website that employs artificial intelligence to permit the creation and alteration of digital models, an occurrence made all the more possible by the latest advancements of the last decade.
These digital models can engage in performative acts that can be considered art, in the digital space especially.
However, with their many capabilities, such as performing in tandem with a user’s commands or even engaging the user in an interactive chat, these AIs have raised many important discussions around the ethics of artificial intelligence, particularly concerning the creation of NSFW or “not safe for work” content.
