Deep Fake Definition

What does "deep fake" mean?  Standard online dictionaries like Merriam-Webster and The Oxford English Dictionary have not defined this phenomenon yet.  The online Free Dictionary has this definition:

"A fake video created using artificial intelligence methods ("deep learning"), typically with the goal of mimicking a person's attributes and/or mannerisms."
