This compels me to learn deepfakes, which seems not too hard as long as you have sufficient hardware... Or if not then those Death Stranding like methods might still work :AyameHmm:
It's quite doable. If you have pretty much any not-prehistoric GPU, you can run quantized Z-Image turbo. If it's a not-ancient Nvidia GPU, you can run a 4-bit SVDquant version extremely quickly.
There may even be versions runnable on Intel IGPs or beefy CPUs these days, though I have not personally investigated this.
Or you can just use the Artbot through the AI Horde for a deepfake, with no corporate servers involved. It's crowdsourced inference, basically the equivalent of the Fediverse.
Its really easy
