It's pretty impressive stuff to be sure, but the fakeness actually becomes very obvious once you understand what to look for. Something about the contour of the nose, the shape of the hair line, the way the teeth are aligned, etc.
In some dystopian future I imagine this will be part of our education to distinguish genuine content from fake news.
- chki 6y agoCan you get into more detail on those "very obvious" markers? I kept looking but I can't find them at all.
- dmitrybrant 6y agoTake this example that the site just gave me: https://imgur.com/a/dbpZx2r https://imgur.com/a/dbpZx2r It's pretty convincing, until you look in between the lips where the teeth are supposed to show through. You see some very clear "AI smudging" artifacts that are a dead giveaway. Less obviously: - the eyelashes on his left eye look unrealistic - the way the nose connects to the rest of the face (especially in the highlights) is too smudgy - the texture and tone of the skin is very uneven, and again smudgy in various places, indicating that this is a Mr. Potato Head constructed image.
- maciejw 6y agoFollowing the advice to look for "fakeness" markers I would mention a few recurring ones: 1) unreal background (like monsters or distorted images) 2) strange-looking moles or birthmarks (white, very round or else) 3) distorted texts and logos on clothing 4) fabrics of the garments don't look real too 5) jewelry gets distorted or multiplied 6) glasses often look fake on the edges Nevertheless this looks impressive.

- calmworm 6y agoThe pupils are almost always a giveaway. Look closely. Harder to see on darker eyes though. Teeth, too if they are showing.
- PakG1 6y agoWell, in a truly dystopian future, these flaws will no longer occur. :)

- as1mov 6y agoIMO, the fakeness is only obvious because your brain is already aware of the fact that they are fake. If you put any of those picture in another context like a Twitter/Facebook profile, almost everyone would be convinced that the person is real.
