Show HN: Fake Profile Picture Generator
- robotbikes 8y agoThis is pretty interesting and I'd be curious to understand the technique and sources behind it. I figure it is some kind of machine learning going on but I assume that there is a number of these that have been pre-generated and this is kind of a random slideshow. They look like real people.
- huling0 8y agoIt is based on https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.04948.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.04948.pdf Images can easily be generated on the fly. Inference time is ~100ms.
- greenyoda 8y agoA similar site, based on the same algortithm, was extensively discussed a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19144280 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19144280 What's different about the site you submitted?
- huling0 8y agoThanks! I missed that one - seems to do the same :-)
- skilled 8y agoOh yeah... You "missed" that one....
- anonfunction 8y agoIt would be useful to add some parameters, for instance allowing to choose an age range.
- skilled 8y agoYou must have been sitting on this idea for decades seeing as how you registered the domain on 2-16-2019. And you have the guts to say this isn't a blatant copycat? Sheesh.
- huling0 8y agoWhy this negativity? It's not harming anyone. Just fun to play with the new StyleGAN network which is only out since a few weeks.
- s4bb 8y agoAwesome!
