It's not the first time that I hear that, thanks for your radical candor :) and to be frank too, I was also sharing that feeling of a fantasy made to mimic reality when I started this project.
It all started when we started to argue with my family members on which avatars looked more like me. It made me realize that we were much more sensitive than I thought about our self-image. Me and my partner would pick different pictures in a set of 10 samples ^^ as if we had two slightly different perceptions of reality.
Now, I changed my mind slightly and tend to see these models as an another type of compression of information. Almost like a new censor of data.
- xupybd 4y agoI'd love a version of this tool that alters my face enough to avoid it being useful for facial recognition. I don't really want to publish my face on linked in and other sites as I'm not keen on it getting indexed in some future facial recognition tool.
- peteralaoui 4y ago@xupybd, cool idea, it could maybe capture the essence of you while still injecting some perturbations into the final rendering to break facial recognition. If you want to experiment thatwith your photos I'm available on DM: twitter.com/_dulacp
- dr_kiszonka 4y agoI really like your point about compression. I have never thought about it this way. BTW, I am curious how much storage the "essence" of one's face take in relation to the ten images required by your service?
- flippinburgers 4y agoNo doubt there is that ... and, oh yeah, the money.
