Heard about the latest hot new trend on the Internet? Slightly disturbing, even? It’s splicing someone’s face into a video in place of that of an entirely unrelated person, to make it look like they’re the one in the scene. Except that the result doesn’t look fake at all--you’d think it was real.

Cheers, William.
