Tinkering with deep fake technology

This is both amazing , and scary. Brian Lane was a ww2 raf pilot officer . This still photo was taken shortly before his death in 1942 . With deep fake technology it allows any still image to be animated with your chosen text converted to speech . I’ve tried to keep the text here neutral if little tongue and cheek as I’m Conscious this is an image of a highly regarded and respected hero of the raf in ww2 … the ethics of this technology is certainly a hot subject and I hope the checks and balances for this tech is tight enough to prevent serious misuse .

Royal Air Force fighter pilot. Born Harrogate, grew up in Pinner. From the picture source website: “Brian Lane flew with RAF 19 Sqn and achieved 7 kills during his career, having seen action over Dunkirk and in the Battle of Britain. On 13 December 1942, he was last seen giving chase to two FW 190s. He never returned from this mission and was listed as “Missing in Action”.
