Lists

Which artists have been deepfaked the most? Here’s a list.

The enshitification of the internet continues as people insist on flooding the zone with crap like deepfake videos. It’s getting harder and harder to tell which videos are real and which are fake. Free sites can construct a deepfake with as little as 10 seconds of video featuring the real thing. Output takes just a few minutes.

A site called Kapwing has compiled this list of the artists who have been deepfaked the most. The numbers are only going to get bigger.

The most deepfaked person anywhere is Donald Trump with over 12,000 detected. Elon Musk comes second (9,544), followed by Tay-Tay (8,202), and Joe Biden (7,956). The rest of the top ten features Tom Cruise, Dwayne Johnson, Christiano Ronaldo, Mark Zuckerberg, Will Smith, and Beyonce.

Thanks, AI. This is why we as a species can’t have nice things.
