A fake sex video of Gal Gadot has gone viral recently. With the help of artificial intelligence, people can fake porn videos starring anyone.
A case in point is the video created by netizen Deepfakes from Reddit. After sourcing photos and footage from Google and YouTube which feature different angles of the celebrities, he created fake porns through a tool called TensorFlow.

Apart from Gal Gadot, he has also posted videos featuring Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson and Maisie Williams. All are lifelike. He claimed that he is not an expert, but a programmer with an avid interest in machine learning.

Artificial intelligence expert Alex Champandard said this is not rocket science. Anyone with images and footage online may become a victim of such pranks.
