I don't remember for sure what techniques they used for the recreation, but I had thought they used some deepfake technology (which was in use well before "from scratch" image generation by AI model was feasible). Maybe I'm wrong - though I'd bet that's what OP meant, regardless.

OP responded and then deleted thier response. They're trying to say the script was ai generated, and the deepfake was ai, which didn't happen for either thing.

lol OK then.

I suspect the deepfake did use AI though. The "deep" in "deepfake" comes from "deep learning" i.e. deep neural networks. That was the technology used at the time, though as I say, they could have used a different technique.

Thats a lot different than the generative ai slop that's used now
