Someone used an algorithm to paste the face of 'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot onto a porn video, and the implications are terrifying.
There's a video of Gal Gadot having sex with her stepbrother on the internet. But it's not really Gadot's body, and it's barely her own face. It's an approximation, face-swapped to look like she's performing in an existing incest-themed porn video.
[...] Like the Adobe tool that can make people say anything, and the Face2Face algorithm that can swap a recorded video with real-time face tracking, this new type of fake porn shows that we're on the verge of living in a world where it's trivially easy to fabricate believable videos of people doing and saying things they never did. Even having sex.
[...] The ease with which someone could do this is frightening. Aside from the technical challenge, all someone would need is enough images of your face, and many of us are already creating sprawling databases of our own faces: People around the world uploaded 24 billion selfies to Google Photos in 2015-2016.

Srsly Soylentils, you're slipping!
How can it be incest-themed if it's supposed to be her stepbrother? Maybe I'm missing some regional dialect but from where I'm from, "step" indicates someone who is not a blood relative. A half brother, sure, but not step. Personally I'm somewhat glad of this fact, but to punters I imagine the vid is somewhat mis-sold.
If a cat has kittens, does a rat have rittens, a bat bittens and a mat mittens?

"themed" is a weasel-word, that is why. It is "incest-themed" and about as much incest as most "irish-themed pubs" are irish pubs. (i.e.: it is only intended to evoke the feeling of something, any actual similiarities are by pure coincidence)
