For some people, the future of technology is synonymous with a boundless realm of opportunities.

For others it's a Black Mirror-inspired nightmare fest, where humanity is just one step away from bringing about its own, possibly robot-induced destruction.

And for others still, it simply means face swapping the hell out of Nic Cage so it looks like he starred in every movie ever.

Yep: face-swapping using the free tool FakeApp, the technology that's been in the news recently after a people began using it to splice actors with pornstars, has now found a whole new use. And, unexpectedly, it involves Nicolas Cage.

Look, here he is as James Bond:

And here he is in, er, Man of Steel.

This trend of face-swapping Nicolas Cage seems to originate from a Reddit user called u/derpfakes, who has been sharing his creations in the (definitely NSFW) subreddit r/deepfakes (the main source of that Motherboard story mentioned above).

Unsurprisingly, people had some thoughts.

The future is looking stranger and stranger by the day.
