This is making me think of A Scanner Darkly. Check out the movie if you haven’t .
Comment on Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.

This actually gives me an idea. I’ve often wished I could share photos of myself on social media incidentally, to show things that I’m doing or making or whatever. But I don’t want to show my face.
I could use this to make a version of my face that’s close but not actually recognizable to anyone who knows me, and then patch that into the photos I want to post.

Agreed but skip the movie and read the book. 1000x better.

That movie temporarily cured my insomnia.

Same here. I’ve tried to watch it a few times, I want to like it, but I just can’t get through it.

I’ve had an AI generated mix between my face and an actors as my Facebook profile pic for a little over a year now I think, or close to it, and only my sister has called me out on it.

I mean I wouldn’t bring it up to most people with how much some people shop their shit before uploading.

Yeah I wouldn’t either. I still think it’s pretty funny though

Bro there are people who post entire timelines of themselves in completely anime ai generated imagery
And they are livinf better than i
banneryear1868@lemmy.world 8 months ago
People use some Snapchat filters like this, like the anime face one I see a lot.

I’m in the same boat. I basically want to wear an ai mask. I don’t like cartoon face trackers or similar. I don’t have the hardware to render a video though, and I’m not going to buy server time.

Google automatic1111, it’s the program to run if you want to generate AI images. You can put in the original photo, use the built in editor and request the face of a pretty man/woman/elephant (for all I care) and it’ll generate a face and merge it with the surrounding image perfectly.
Requires a graphics card with a few gigabytes of vram though, so there is a certain hardware requirement if you want to do this locally.

Smart! Just today I took a very funny photo, but don’t want to break the anonymity of anyone in there.

I really like “Bitmoji” on my iPhone as an interesting start in that direction. I can create my avatar, whether as similar to me or not, and use it as a filter on FaceTime where it follows a lot of my actual movement and expressions

Ooooh an actually interesting use of ai: preserving anonymity

In the dark future, an underground market has formed to preserve the anonymity and privacy of the average person using holographic disguises of anthropomorphic figures that were in the distant past sometimes known as “furries.”

Ah yes, even in the dark future, furries are making super advanced and useful technologies to be more furry.

There are projects that already exist with this sort of purpose, one I came across a while ago was Deep Privacy which uses deepfakes to replace your face and body in an image with one that is AI generated.
