AI's Got Celebs Stepping Into Quavo & Takeoff's 'Hotel Lobby'

The internet found a new toy and it's messy in the best way. Someone took that classic Quavo and Takeoff 'Hotel Lobby' scene and figured out how to swap in celebrity faces using AI, and now everybody who's anybody is getting the deepfake treatment.
