The (human) models and photographers will be in real trouble when generative models are able to make an ad on the fly with a fake person who looks like your neighbor with the best landscaping using the advertised lawnmower.

Um, last I checked, AI models of humans looked super, super creepy. Not the sort of content you would want on a marketing campaign, that's for sure.

  When the AI worked it worked well but when it failed the failure was obvious and creepy.

  Some looked creepy, others looked average, others looked practically real. You can still retouch them a little using Photoshop and you have something that is 99.9% real. Good enough for a campaign.

  It's time to check again. The latest ones are indistinguishable from real humans, at least to my eye. Somehow the uncanny valley has been crossed already.

    Form what I remember that AI could only do one pose.

  This has changed. It's hard to tell they're fake. For example, each reload of https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ produces a new computer-generated image of a person.

    You're right, that's better than it used to be by orders of magnitude. However, there remain things that "just don't look right". The most obvious I can spot is the teeth, followed by warped edges (odd indentations, a missing ear that ought to merely be partially hidden), followed by the eyes(more subtle, but definitely there). The "big swathes of skin" are generally fine. There are also wrong numbers of teeth, partially missing eyebrows, etc. Finally, there's not much correlation between apparent ethnicity and facial characteristics or hair. All these "just look wrong" enough to put someone off of a marketing brochure.

      These are random images though. If you do want something specific, you can dial the right knobs to fix the issues you mentioned and match up the features you don't like. Adding some extra constraints should be possible if you actually want commercial usage.

    I reloaded the page ten times and every single one had something clearly off.

      It's hard to generate perfect images at high resolution. The fact that they are even plausible at high resolution is very impressive. If these were downscaled to 128x128 you would literally not be able to distinguish real from fake.

      You mean like the Goldeneye box art? He has two mouths and it didn't stop the game selling like hotcakes. https://gaminghistory101.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/goldeneye_box.jpg https://gaminghistory101.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/goldene...

  When was the last time you checked? Because the last time I checked I found it hard to tell the difference.
