How easy is deepfake now? I just watched a show and I want to change the actor to an old timey one. NOT PORN. Just a cool show I think would be suited to this actor and I can't get it out of my head.

For the few who want to know the show and the actor, it's "Monsieur Spade," an AMC produced take on Sam Spade post-America, retired and living in France. I think it's really well done, and Clive Owen does a great job of playing San Spade but...I REALLY want to replace his face and voice with Bogart's.

TLDR: still too damn hard

I think Mike Boyd did a video where he learnt how to create a deep fake and it took him 100 hours. He used deepfakelab and 3 rendering PCs just to make some short clips. It would take a lot of rendering to do an entire show.

AI art is very easy to learn, but has a lot of intricacies and extra functions that can take a while to learn and master. The only free and open source one, Stable Diffusion, has a lot of resources online. Here's a beginner's guide to get you started.

I recommend running locally if you have the hardware for it. You generally need at least 8GB of VRAM for reasonably fast generation, though I've heard of people being fine with as little as 4GB. Check out Civitai for additional resources.

im entirely deepfake now it's so cheap

At least you're a deepfake. They ran out of of CPU cycles in their cloud account, so I'm just a shallowfake. :/

Now it makes me want to swap the actor who played Jafar in Aladdin (2019) by Jason Mantzoukas and see how better the movie becomes.

Just do it. It’s not hard, it just takes time to learn all the pieces and how they fit together.
