These Portraits Were Made by AI: None of These People Exist

All 3 of these people do not exist. These pictures are completely AI generated. And they look damn realistic. Too realistic.

Check out these rather ordinary looking portraits. They’re all fake. Not in the sense that they were Photoshopped, but rather they were completely generated by artificial intelligence. That’s right: none of these people actually exist.

NVIDIA researchers have published a new paper on easily customizing the style of realistic faces created by a generative adversarial network (GAN).

The Verge points out that GAN has only existed for about four years. In 2014, a landmark paper introduced the concept, and this is what the AI-generated results looked like at the time:

In less than half a decade, the realism has improved to the point where most people might not be able to tell the portraits are fake, even when examining them up close.

NVIDIA researchers are now able to copy the “styles” of source faces onto destination faces, creating blends that have copied features but which look like entirely new people:

This is some scary shyt.

People think it's amazing but think about how easy it would be for someone to frame you on some shyt or make a mock confession to bury you under a jail if you choose not to talk. Technology will be used far worse than it is now in the near future watch

Here's the takeaway

A digital photo is no longer actual evidence

When you can fake photos on this level, a digital photo is no more hard evidence than a police sketch

But you just watch. Slow witted people will continue to go by what they see without quantifying it

Just like they do now with YT vids about flat earth and other idiocy. Or like how Russian Bots using a few simple sentences may have swung our election

So imagine how easily they will accept the right fake digital photo that "proves" or "disproves" some hot button issue

Those same bots can create a trending topic that can get people easily triggered.
