Deepfakes blew up thanks to one powerful idea: What if AI could learn to fake things by trying to fool another AI? That’s a GAN: a Generative Adversarial Network. One AI tries to generate fake images. The other tries to detect them. They push each other until the fakes look real. GANs were a huge leap in generative AI. And while not all deepfakes use GANs today, many of the early breakthroughs started here. #GAN #GenerativeAI #Deepfake #MachineLearning #AIExplained #NeuralNetworks
