According to Spencer Jones, the creator of the program, the use of deepfakes is still very limited and somewhat unstable. Actors cannot, for example, cover their faces or express a deeper look, because these movements are not captured by technology. Barney Francis, President of Studio Neural, also commented:

“We're developing new automated tools, but we're still a long way from being a fully automated process. You still need as much human intelligence as you need AI. You still have to squeeze out as much detail in texture and all that stuff; This requires years of experience and human intelligence to do.It will take years before there are automated processes that can achieve 4K resolution [ultra HD] like him.”
