New App Creates Deepfakes Of Lip-Synced Pictures, And I Used It To Have A Laugh (13 Pics)
The conversation about deep-fakes has an ominous undertone these days. Everyone is almost certain that it can be used with evil intent. However, I don’t think this is the only possible intention with which it can be used.
Take, for example, the Wombo AI app that’s used to create lip-synced versions of photos. It’s not exactly perfect or as accurate as the “real thing,” but it’s still very intriguing and effective. It took little to no time before the internet caught up to this app and started creating some meme-tastic content on it, mostly involving popular figures singing ludicrous songs.

Harry Potter singing “Witch Doctor” by Cartoons
And that’s where I come into the picture. I created my own 13 versions of popular characters singing fun tunes that we all most likely know. I leave you to decide how it turned out, but to me, they offer a fresh new perspective on how we can perceive well-known characters and what they can do. The app “unfreezes” the picture from its usual perspective and adds a refreshing, life-like dynamic to it.

George Washington singing “Ding Dong Song” by Günther and the Sunshine Girls
Wombo is spectacularly impressive at recreating motions and movements in a static frame. It can make them unseemingly happen to a hilarious effect. The eternally sombre George Washington becomes funnily flirtatious, and Frida Kahlo, who we’re used to seeing mute, becomes a melancholic and expressive karaoke performer from Yakuza (the video game).

My background is in digital art since I started using Photoshop many years ago, and I’m a frequent contributor to Bored Panda. Recently, I became fascinated with AI technology and neural networks. To me, the fast-evolving AI technology seems very interesting because it seemingly has no boundaries when it comes to what it may be capable of creating. And today’s post is just one of the brilliant examples. I hope to find more AI-related stuff in the future and share it with you, my dear Bored Panda readers.

Very smart and above all fun !! Facial expressions are hilarious! Thanks for sharing 😅
Okay, these were all funny, but the Mona Lisa was my favourite. Good job!
Tried this software out just now (Android). If you use the front facing camera the image will be upside down and funny as it is to see someones forehead singing Dragostea Din Tei, it is best to use the forward facing camera. The software is tricky to use until you realise that you need to match the mouth to where the neck joins the shoulder in the wireframe template and your good to go. Deapools 'Were not gonna take it' is cool but seeing the Terminator sing the Din Dong Song just doubled me up laughing!
George Washington , Arnold S and Umma Thurman were my favorites!!! hahahahhaha!!!
Not bad! If I send you a picture of my 5 year old niece, could you make it do that?
I think there’s an app you could download called wombo AI.

Mr Bean has got to be my favourite! These are all hysterically funny, well done
"Everyone is almost certain that it can be used with evil intent." Absolutely true, the possible evil certainly outweighs the usefulness of this tech. Just because its possible does not mean its worthwhile.
