<section id="about"> <div class="container"> <div class="text"> <p>In an era of rapid technological progress, deepfakes have become a concern in digital development. This report is a milestone in an ongoing series that thoroughly examines the ins and outs of deepfake technology, revealing its evolving capabilities and imminent threats.</p> <p>Through rigorous research, we aim to empower individuals and organizations with the knowledge to responsibly navigate the complex world of deepfakes. Our work stems from a comprehensive analysis of 95,820 deepfake videos, 85 dedicated channels across online platforms, and a meticulous review of over 100 websites linked to the deepfake ecosystem.</p> <p>This 2023 state of deepfakes: realities, threats, and impact review is a powerful tool for fostering awareness of deepfake technology and protecting the masses from its negative effects. Join us as we uncover the layers of the state of deepfakes, revealing realities, highlighting threats, and exploring the technology's profound impact.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="s-toc"> <div class="container d-xl-flex justify-content-end"> <div class="section-wrapper"> <h2 class="animate" data-animate="fadeInUp"><strong>TABLE</strong> OF CONTENTS</h2> <ul class="menu"> <li><a href="#key-findings">I.

At least one in every three deepfake tools allows users to generate adult content using AI-driven manipulation techniques.</p> <p>Most of these platforms, accounting for 92.3%, offer users the ability to create deepfake adult content for free, albeit with certain limitations. This approach to accessibility has contributed to the widespread use of such tools.</p> <p>However, there's also a financial endgame. These platforms consistently try to monetize their services by setting up premium features and encouraging users to buy them. The following list explores some of the monetization strategies that these platforms explore.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-6"> <div class="text pornography__text"> <h3 class="animate" data-animate="fadeInUp">Selling Extra Credits:</h3> <p>Many deepfake platforms offer users the option to purchase extra credits. These credits can be used to access premium features, enhance generated content quality, or unlock additional tools and resources. This strategy allows users to tailor their experience to their specific needs.</p> <h3 class="animate" data-animate="fadeInUp">Premium Subscriptions:</h3> <p>Another common monetization approach involves offering premium subscriptions. Users can subscribe to these premium tiers to access higher-quality deepfake tools, advanced features, and priority customer support. This subscription model provides users with enhanced capabilities and a more comprehensive deepfake pornography creation experience.</p> <h3 class="animate" data-animate="fadeInUp">Online Advertisements:</h3> <p>Many of these platforms generate revenue through online advertisements. Advertisements may appear within the user interface or alongside content generated by the tool.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pornography-video waypoint"> <div class="row flex-lg-row-reverse"> <div class="col-lg-6 mb-4 mb-lg-0"> <div class="pornography-video__frame"> <div class="frame-wrapper"> <div class="frame"> <img src="/web/20240215223210im_/https://www.homesecurityheroes.com/state-of-deepfakes/assets/images/frame-laptop.png" alt="frame-laptop"> <video width="320" height="240" preload="auto" loop muted> <source src="/web/20240215223210im_/https://www.homesecurityheroes.com/state-of-deepfakes/assets/video/pornography-video-demo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> </div> </div> <div class="note"> <p>We conducted this test using an Intel Core i5 processor with 16 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 2070 graphics card.
