Artificial Intelligence and deepfake have accustomed us to seeing beautiful ones: from Salvador Dalí welcoming visitors to a museum to the people in the videos who change sentences when we go to edit the text.

Here is the rather remarkable performance. As you watch it (it lasts a few seconds) ask yourself questions like me about the future of this technology. Because this technology, believe me, deserves all our questions.
Not bad the game, isn't it?
Researchers believe the model could be used to automatically create animated characters. He will also be able to “bridge” the time gaps during slow streaming, or simply “dub” the films by letting the characters speak directly in the chosen language.
For all brains here is the paper that illustrates the technique.
