What is the latest (and arguably greatest) use for deep machine learning?

Answer: dropping Nicolas Cage’s face into classic movies, of course!

From its less wholesome origins of face-swapping celebrities into adult films, a new and endlessly entertaining use has been discovered for deep machine learning technology: adding Nicolas Cage into, well, any movie you can image.
