An AI-powered service called Deep Nostalgia that animates still photos has become the main character on Twitter this fine Sunday, as people try to create the creepiest fake “video” possible, apparently.

The Deep Nostalgia service, offered by online genealogy company MyHeritage, uses AI licensed from D-ID to create the effect that a still photo is moving. It’s kinda like the iOS Live Photos feature, which adds a few seconds of video to help smartphone photographers find the best shot.

But Deep Nostalgia can take photos from any camera and bring them to “life.” The program uses pre-recorded driver videos of facial movements and applies the one that works best for the still photo in question. Its intended purpose is to allow you to upload photos of deceased loved ones and see them in “action,” which seems like a lovely idea.

It's technically cool, but kinda creepy....

I agree!

The one at the very top of the article is kind of neat, and looks really good, but the others in the article have a certain amount of "deformation" for lack of a better word... And we won't speak of the statues...

Also, I feel like, if my dad's wife did that with a photo of his, it would break her heart.... I could be wrong, but I'm certainly not going to ask. And I don't think I'd want to see it either.
