Why is Tom Cruise typically used as the deep fake model?
In: Technology
Deepfake and other image stitching technologies like it require a good amount of source data such as pictures of someone taken from all angles, all facial expressions, as many lighting schemes as possible. What your saying ok a deepfake is a reconstruction of Tom Cruise’s face onto someone else’s face. More source pictures/video to draw expressions from means a better and more believable reconstruction.
There are an absurd amount of photos taken of Tom Cruise through the years. And he still looks the same now as he did as a teen. When you are doing articifial intelligence and patern recognizion software you want as much data as possible to get a good result. And you would be hard pressed to find a celebraty there are more portraits of then Tom Cruise.

Because Tom Cruise is both instantly recognizable and *just* ~~crazy~~ unpredictable enough that you’ll likely believe the deep fake for at least a moment.
