The #MyHeritage tech is producing some interesting results By Jessica MasonMar 1st, 2021, 4:37 pm You’ve heard of deep fakes: where someone with the help of an AI digitally pastes one face onto another person’s actions. It’s incredibly eerie all on its own, but when we’re talking about one living face getting plastered on another, there’s a level of “weird, but fine” there. It’s a little more complicated when the deep fake technology is being used to create “deep nostalgia” and bring long-dead relatives and famous figures back to digital “life.” Deep Nostalgia is a service from the genealogy website MyHeritage (which is crashing pretty hard right now due to everyone using this, so don’t be surprised if that link takes you to an error page) and was launched late in February. The service uses a technology called Deep Learning to transform still pictures into eerily alive moving images. Just input an old photo of a departed loved one and … there you go.
