Fascinating stuff.  Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy 2?  In the beginning, there's a scene with Jeff Bridges as a 20-something, probably using this technology, and it looks so real.  But what the article's describing is just the next step after Photoshopping (which, in and of itself, should make you question any photograph you see).  We just have to continue questioning everything and being skeptical.  Anyway, I still think Hollywood's end game is to make computer-generated animation look so real that they'll eventually replace actors.

The possibilities here are endless - having your political opponents say things they didn't say, Charlie Parker plays with Ornette,  Wynton with Duke, I get to talk to my dead brother, fake porn really is the least of it.
