Fake celebrity porn is all over Reddit thanks to a new app

Back in December, it was discovered that Reddit users were creating fake pornography using celebrity faces pasted on to adult film actresses' bodies. The disturbing videos, created by Reddit user deepfakes, look strikingly real as a result of a sophisticated machine learning algorithm, which uses photographs to create human masks that are then overlaid on top of adult film footage. Now, AI-assisted porn is spreading all over Reddit, thanks to an easy-to-use app that can be downloaded directly to your desktop computer, according to Motherboard. Star Wars lead Daisy Ridley has been featured in a fake video on the Reddit thread. One of the site's users, deepfakeapp, created a desktop application called FakeApp that lets users take adult film footage and swap any female celebrity's face onto porn actresses' bodies The app, called FakeApp, uses deepfakes' algorithm, but doesn't require any knowledge of coding.
