Make a Deep Fake of Yourself in 3 Simple Steps

If you need to create a deep fake of yourself, here’s how in 3 simple steps:

1. I used OpenAI to create the content. In this example, I asked ChatGPT to “write a two minute speech on the opportunity and dangers of artificial intelligence in the voice of Steve Jobs,” and this is what it generated:

2. I utilized ElevenLabs' Speech Synthesis feature to create a clone of my own voice by providing a one-minute audio sample. Next, I copied the text generated by OpenAI into the Speech Synthesis feature, which produced an mp3 file that I downloaded.

3. I then created an account on D-ID and uploaded a photo of myself along with the mp3 file generated by ElevenLabs. This allowed me to create a deep fake video of myself.

Final Thoughts

This deep fake took me about half an hour to do. I’m a bit mesmerized when I watch the video because I look like a super villain. I’m not sure how I would use this technology myself because it doesn’t look quite right. That said, my son wants me to show him how do this because he has to turn in video of himself doing a speech for school.
