I suppose it could just be someone who happens to be her spitting image having some fun with us.

  • Assume this is not the real Margot Robbie, and that this content was not created with the consent of the real Margot Robbie.
  • Assume this is making use of some sort of deepfake technology
  • Assume that it is not an accident that this type of technology is used more frequently to produce content featuring women without their consent than it is used for men.

I can appreciate the core technology on its own merits, but it seems like a mostly solved problem at this point, at least as a function of the amount of data input into the system. I can’t help but question the motivations of anyone who uses it in this manner, though.

ETA: Some additional context by people who have done the legwork:
