The generated images are very obviously AI fakes. I don't think anyone is going to be seriously fooled by this. > I would pre-populate the list so when entering a new postcode, it doesn't stall waiting for AI. It looks like it already works like this? It was slow the first time I searched for my postcode, subsequent times have been very fast.

> I don't think anyone is going to be seriously fooled by this. Do you think porn sites are more interested in a) correctly preventing unauthorized people from accessing their site, or b) selling as many subscriptions as they can while nominally complying with the law?

  The AI should generate nude photos festooned in kink accessories, brown noses, pearl necklaces, and dripping facials.

I wouldn't say they’re “obviously” AI fakes. I’m not from the UK, so I’m not familiar with what their IDs are supposed to look like. I was suspicious, though—the hands holding the ID cards looked kind of “crispy.” But at the same time, I thought, “woah, where did the website owner even get these photos?” It wasn’t until I read the Hacker News post that I realized they were all AI-generated (and now cached). And here’s the thing: I’m an engineer at Apple with decades of experience in the tech industry—I’m not exactly new to this stuff. If I got fooled even for a couple of seconds, imagine how easy it would be to trick someone who isn’t technical.

  The text is slightly misaligned and weird-looking; it screams "AI". The hand holding the ID looks like CGI. And the photos don't look anything like the actual MP, at least for the ones that I tried. There's also some obvious tells if you know what UK driving licenses look like: the layout is wrong, the background is too plain, and all the anti-forgery features are missing. Real licenses have much more detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_licence_in_the_United_Kingdom#/media/File:UK_full_licence_dec_2021.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_licence_in_the_United_...

  > I wouldn't say they’re “obviously” AI fakes. I'd say they're obviously AI fakes, just trying a few: B249AL (it made her bald), SA487AB (different shape, hair color and hair), TN248DF (it grew his hair back), HA26ND (bald, again) and NG166QE (I don't even need to explain)...
