February 2nd, 2018. The dawn of Deepfakes.

This article, posted 2018/2/2, was the first to provide a simple explanation for the masses and a positive message regarding Deepfakes, building upon research, trial and error of using friends and family in Deepfakes instead of typical celebrities and NSFW scenarios .

The article on a niche topic went viral thanks to the r/Deepfakes subreddit (which was banned a few days later) and Hacker News.

This article was a reaction to the negative message every news outlet was spreading regarding the technology. The attention this article received was thanks to its complete different take on the subject and extreme lucky timing. As a result many websites, international newspapers and tv/radio stations mentioned the article, including The Verge, Boing Boing, San Francisco Chronicle (interview with author), Hacker News, Fox News, Der Spiegel...

It was posted on svencharleer.com and Medium, reaching 150k+ hits.

This item is part of Deepfakes history, a viral post when mainstream news had just discovered the technology.

A Piece of Deepfakes History collection image

The items in this collection are part of early Deepfakes history, the first Deepfake result to go viral for its fun, positive and SFW angle.

Around January/February 2018 Deepfakes became extremely popular in a negative sense, with Reddit even banning r/deepfakes for its abundance of NSFW fakes. During that same time I decided to put my wife on the Tonight Show using the tech. The generated gifs were a result of a week's worth of Deepfake exploration, testing, processing and insights.

The blog post's timing was extremely lucky (2018/2/2), receiving a huge response (150k across my own blog and Medium), landing me interviews and exposure of the gif in international newspapers and tv shows (San Francisco Chronicle, The Verge, Hacker News, Fox News, Der Spiegel, Boing Boing)

Don't miss out on getting a part of this exclusive piece of Deepfakes history!
