The article copy states that the faces are from real people who submitted photos. The next logical step here I think is using AI to create a unique face that [probably] isn't in any Face Recognition database.

  Maybe it's placebo because I know this person is not supposed to exist, but is there something else odd going on there as I get some weird, ominous vibe from viewing those pictures? I wonder if there side by side pictures with on one side being an ai generated human and on the other picture an actual person, would average person be able to identify which is which and with what accuracy? It's as if they somehow so closely remind me of someone, but really they are different. As if they are based on some famous person, but they are not them. Most remind me of some actor. For instance I saw this image and instantly thought of Steve Jobs, but not quite really. https://ibb.co/y8fpRP2 https://ibb.co/y8fpRP2 Another one reminding me of Jeffrey Epstein: https://ibb.co/B6CQfdn https://ibb.co/B6CQfdn

    Not a perfect test, but you can try for yourself on https://www.whichfaceisreal.com/ https://www.whichfaceisreal.com/ if you're curious (the tells for generated images on this one are quite obvious when you know what to look for)

      I had some fun with this. After a while you can find a lot of clues to spot the ai picture. I looked at ca. 15 pictures and got two wrong. Then this happened: https://pasteboard.co/JFldXA6.png https://pasteboard.co/JFldXA6.png Sorry for posting a picture - the picture shows one normal face and one not quite so normal. Guess which is the real face : )

        NSFW warning would have been appreciated, looks like zombie makeup.

      I noticed the chin is a good give away. PS: Don't tell the bots please.

        There’s something about the eyes for me, I got a lot right and I found the AI eyes seemed kind of dead or unfocused.

      Got 10/10 correct. These are pretty easy to spot by looking for the artifacts around the hair. Similar to how its easy to spot the fake background blur in "portrait" iphone pictures. But really this is just spotting to see if the picture in general was manipulated. If i'm lookin at the actual faces it becomes much trickier.

      That's cool, but I think that these images are created in some other manner than the first one, so they have a bit different feeling to them too.
