I must say, the product is utterly amazing and at the same time, terrifying. Combine that technology with this facial manipulation tech that was recently demo'd out of Stanford and you have one of the most dangerous social engineering tools we've ever witnessed.

If we thought fake news was bad with current digital/print media, can you imagine what it will be like once this type of tool is used for nefarious purposes? We'll be at a point where it's nearly impossible to believe what you see or hear.
