Perhaps you've seen Pogo's Data/Picard song...


Well, someone deepfaked Stewart and Spiner's faces onto it. It's a little unsettling.



Deepfakes are things that require a lot of attention to detail, lest it send you into the Uncanny Valley. For example, this one putting Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland into Back to the Future is done way better.



Star Trek The First Generation is more middle of the road.


Putting Lynda Carter over Gal Godot is okay. Conversely, putting Gal Gadot over Lynda Carter is a little creepy.



Tom Cruise as Iron Man tried a bit too much. By trying to replace RDJ's voice with a Tom Cruise soundalike they introduced the audio version of Uncanny Valley.
