How hard is it to create a deepfake?

[Ggier]

I've seen some crazy realistic deepfake videos lately and got curious – what does it actually take to make one? Is this something a regular person can do with basic tech skills, or do you need to be some coding wizard with expensive equipment?

The process of creating convincing deepfakes has recently become surprisingly accessible. With modern tools, you can swap faces in a video without needing advanced technical skills, although the quality of the results can vary. The process usually involves providing the AI with enough source material of both faces, and then letting the algorithm do the rest. Web-based solutions make it easier for beginners to experiment.
