The world of deepfake video technology is getting better and better, but that doesn't mean the results of these deepfake videos is perfect. Case in point is this perfect nightmare fuel in a new Rick and Morty deepfake video... check it out:

Ben Marriott is behind the video, walking you though how he did it and his influences as he's going -- with the major influence of Morty being Willem Dafoe from the original Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire. This isn't a perfect "deepfake" as Marriott notes in his video that he uses a "style-transfer software that doesn't technically use artificial intelligence".

This result more or less copies the effects of a regular deepfake, but this is combining the worlds of real video with animation which makes it a mash up of nightmare fuel. It's kinda sickening and laughable, and something Rick and Morty fans really need to check out as Rick and Morty Season 4 is about to debut.
