We're less than two weeks into 2020,Korea and I think I've already ruined it.
A new app called Doublicat allows users personalizeGIFs by morphing their own faces onto them, commonly known online as a deepfake. I, a true trailblazer at heart, decided to take on the mission of trying out Doublicat, just so y'all can know what you're getting into. You can thank me (or hate me) later.
To start, the app prompts you to take a selfie so it has something to overlay on the GIF. It then scans your face. According to the company, the photo itself is deleted from the servers right after it's processed, but the app saves representations of facial features. Doublicat told Mashable that it does not share data with anyone.
The Doublicat app Credit: doublicat Once you have a photo saved in your profile, you're free to explore the app's collection of GIFs and pick which one you want to put yourself into. At that point, you're just the touch of a button away from seeing your face on a popular GIF and having night terrors about it for weeks. With that warning, let's get on with this shitshow.
It might help to know what I look like before we start shaking things up, so here's a big picture of my face!

Welp. We're at the end, and what a staggering journey it's been. Late New Year's resolution: Avoid mirrors at all times. If you want to show your friends and family some sincerely cursed GIFs, consider giving this a try. We're not responsible if they dissociate from you. Doublicat is currently available for both iOS and Android.
Unfortunately, users are currently limited to the GIF choices Doublicat has already provided. You also can't use pictures from your camera roll. However, Doublicat told Mashable that updates will be coming to allow users to upload their own GIFs, search for GIFs in-app, and use pictures from their phone's camera roll.
OK. I'm gonna go cry. Here's a Trump/Dr. Evil crossover for the road.
