LEE COUNTY, Florida - Put simply, deep fakes use the latest technology to create pictures and videos that look like real life but are, in reality, far from it. "It's now extremely easy to create realistic fake graphics," said Sylvia Chan-Olmsted, director of consumer media research at the University of Florida. "It's really capable of learning from looking at lots of images and recreating and recreating some kind of interchange and mask." Take this viral deep fake for example. What looks like a video of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise swinging a golf club is actually a completely made-up video. NBC2's Gage Goulding made an attempt to make a deep fake. With a video from NBC2 anchor Peter Busch and some footage of Tom Cruise in Top Gun, the process was under way. It was around $ 15 and it took me two hours to make this video. Is it good enough to fool you? It was in downtown Fort Myers that the first people to see the video fell for it.
