Deepfake technology continues to get scarily good, making huge leaps forward in terms of realism and plausibility. A really good (and high-profile) example of this advancement came earlier this year, when a massively viral TikTok video seemed to show footage of Tom Cruise. In reality, it was an actor digitally superimposing the actor's face onto his own. And it was so good that it reportedly struck fear even among some officials in Washington DC. Their fear apparently being that this technology is way too far along for comfort. And, on a related note, that brings us now to Roadrunner, an Anthony Bourdain documentary arriving in US theaters on Friday.

It, too, has an element of deepfakery in it.
