Yes, Deep Nostalgia is safe to use for the general user, as multiple safeguards were included in its launch by MyHeritage and the company that created the deep fake tech, D-ID. In order to prevent the possibility of anyone using Deep Nostalgia in an inappropriate, dangerous, or disrespectful sort of way, there are only a limited number of approved "driver" face movements and consumers cannot make their own. Also, every video is clearly watermarked. Finally there are no audio or speech capabilities with the Deep Nostalgia tool.
Deep Nostalgia is an AI tool created by the genealogy company MyHeritage. When a user uploads a photograph to their account, the tool's AI uses deep learning to analyze it and then merges the photograph on top of a "driver" animation. These driver animations are short pre-recorded videos of a certain sequence of movements and gestures. Users can choose from a range of "driver" animations that include blinking, smiling, head-turning, and more. The static photograph is merged with the driver animation, and the result is a fairly realistic depiction of how the person in the photograph might have looked and moved if they were captured on video. Deep Nostalgia was Product Hunt's #1 Product of the Day on February, 28th 2021.
