Deepfake technology is best known for its use in celebrity pornography, fake news, hoaxes and financial fraud. It's also... been used to manipulate footage of President John F. Kennedy's address to the nation in 1963 from Washington about civil rights -- to have him talk about adult cartoon Rick and Morty .

You'll hear him say Rick's catch phrase, "Wubba Lubba dub dub," early on in the video.

This... odd yet captivating experience comes from YouTuber Ekian M , who posted the deepfake on Aug. 2. Using artificial intelligence to alter the original footage, they have JFK explain the need for a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty, a cartoon on Adult Swim co-created by Community's Dan Harmon.
