Margot Robbie
Due to having so many people trying to impersonate me on the internet
Uh huh.
Comment on Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.

Due to having so many people trying to impersonate me on the internet, I’ve become somewhat of a expert on verification pictures.
You can still easily tell that this is fake because if you look closely, the details, especially the background clutter, is utterly nonsensical.
- The object over her right shoulder (your left), for example, looks like if someone blended a webcam with a TV with a nightstand.
- Over her left shoulder (your right), her chair is only on that one side and it blends into the counter in the background.
- Is it a table lamp or a wall mounted light?
- The doorframe in background behind her head is not even aligned.
- Her clavicles are asymmetrical, never seen that on a real person.
- Her wispy hairstrands. Real hair don’t appear out of thin air in loops.

That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated verification picture expert/character actress Margot Robbie to you!
Now watch me win my Golden Globe tonight. (Come on, Lemmy meme magic, don’t fail me…)
Mango@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So Margot Robbie is obsessed with Android News eh?
Smoogs@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Acting is only her secondary passion.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You sure you’re as dedicated to the awards as an actress as you are about posting to lemmy about android tech?
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I’m hoping you win, as for best actress, they’re fools to not award you with that. So talented.
Keep doing what you’re doing.

Two win for Barbie is still winning, I guess.
On to the Oscars!

Yeah see, now I am not really sure if you’re the real Margot Robbie.
Could you send me a verification picture?
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
But then how will I astroturf (I mean, organically market) my current and future movies, like Golden Globe winning summer blockbuster, Barbie, now available on Blu-Ray and select streaming services, here if I get verified?

There’s already an AI generated one in this post (you didn’t specify that it be her or legitimate).
Aganim@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Her clavicles are asymmetrical, never seen that on a real person.
Shit, are you telling me that every time I see myself in the mirror I’m actually looking at a string of AI generated images, generated in real-time? The matrix is real. 😱
Yes, my clavicles are actually very asymmetric. ☹️
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What I meant is that her right clavicle (your left) is about an inch higher than her left.
I could be wrong, of course, but I imagine if that condition actually exists, then it would be extremely painful.

You’re reaching. I don’t think this is “easy” to tell as you’re making it at all. You’re benefiting enormously from knowing the results before you begin extrapolating.
UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I was agreeing with everything you’ve said, but I was in a pretty nasty bike accident years back which dislocated my clavical. Which now makes it sit about half an inch higher; mainly on the neck side. I was freaked out at first but the doctor said to just live with it so it can happen.
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 10 months ago
every time I’d seen this photo, I only focused on the subject in the foreground, if I were the one verifying that the person in the photo is real, I’d have fallen for it. To me, the subject is entirely convincing. the issues you mentioned about the clavicles and hair, i think kind of make it a bit more convincing. Nobody is completely symmetrical for one, so seeing something like that, while not common, wouldn’t be necessarily uncommon. The hair, to me, just looks like normal person hair. sometimes hair do be like that.

Dude same, before I even read anything I was thinking ‘that’s a cute girl I didn’t know they started doing verifications on lemmy’ then I read and saw the whole hullabaloo.
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
I’m not seeing the levitating hair
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Me neither. There’s clearly more pictures that aren’t included here, so maybe on one of those?
The odd thing about the hair in that picture to me is that on the left side of the photo, there’s one piece that seems to go on a nearly 90 degree bend for seemingly no reason, mid air. I don’t generally see hair get… Kinked like that. I suppose it’s not outside the realm of possibility, but it’s odd at least.
The rest of the hair seems fine to me, but I’m no expert.
I will note however that the object(s) in the background on the left side of the photo look like a gigantic (novelty sized) point and shoot camera from the 90’s. The box on top is the viewfinder and there’s the impression of a circle below that which would be the lens.
Just makes me giggle at the thought of such a large disposable camera.
Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Curly hair can look like that when it’s curling tightly towards/away from you. It looks fairly natural to me.
sukhmel@programming.dev 10 months ago
Didn’t get the 5^th point, there’s only one clavicle visible, am I missing something?
Bohurt@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Even so clavicles can be asymmetrical due to previous injury. We are pretty asymmetrical overall if you look closely enough.
TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Well she’s Margot Robbie, so her clavicles are symmetrical af. She probably just assumes the rest of us are like that too 😓
MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.one 10 months ago
Wow, even after reading your comment, I don’t think I would be able to recognise these.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
An easy ‘solution’ to fix the background is to just use a mild blurring tool. They’re verifying you not your house, it wouldn’t be sus to just have a mild messy blur around you.
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The bokeh effect is surprisingly hard to fake, actually, because it has to do with the physical properties of the camera lens. I think with a light Gaussian blur it would be even less convincing.
ManOMorphos@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The “holes” on her cheeks are easy to miss but seriously unsettling close up. They’re not like freckles or blackheads but more like what termite tunnels look like in wood.
AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Nah. They just look like big pores. There are a few giveaways here that it’s AI generated, but the pores aren’t one of them
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
The point isn’t that you can spot it.
The point is that the automated system can’t spot it.
Or are you telling me there is a person looking at every verification photo, and if they did they would thoroughly scan the photo for imperfections?
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The idea of using a picture upload for automated verification is completely unviable. A much more commonly used system would be something like telling you to perform a random gesture on camera on the spot, like “turn your head slowly” or “open your mouth slowly” which would be trivial for a human to perform but near impossible for AI generators.
curiousPJ@lemmy.world 10 months ago
…I feel like this isn’t the first time I heard that statement before.
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s not that difficult to identify if you have a good understanding of photography principles. The lighting on this image is the biggest tell for me personally, since I can’t visualize any lighting setup that can cast shadows in the directions that’s shown on this picture, it just instinctually looks wrong to me on first sight because of the impossible light sources.
That’s the reason the picture looks WRONG, even if you can’t identify the reason why it looks wrong.
I only focused on the nonsense background clutters because I think it’s easier for people who don’t work around cameras all day.
iegod@lemm.ee 10 months ago
That’s not really the case but moreoever the gap is closing at a blistering pace. Approximately two years ago this stuff was in the distant future. One year ago the lid was blown open. Today we’re seeing real-time frame generation. This rallying against the tech is misguided. It needs to be embraced and understood. Trying to do otherwise is great folly as everything will fall even further behind and lead to even larger misunderstandings.
EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 10 months ago
If you look at gaussian splatting and diffusion morphs/videos, this is merely in the space of “not broadly on hugging face yet” and not impossible, or even difficult depending on the gesture.
We’re months away from fully posable and animatable 3d models of these AI images. It already exists in demos and on arxiv, it runs on consumer hardware but not in realtime, so a video upload would work but a live stream would require renting a cloud GPU ($$$).
smooth_tea@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Having an AI act out random gestures is really not that different from generating an image based on a prompt if you think about it. The temporal element has already been done, the biggest factor right now is probably that it’s too computationally heavy to do in real time, but I can’t see that being a problem for more than a year.
nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
More than that - these systems will eventually figure out how to not bitch the background so obviously. Then what? As others have said, we could switch to verification videos. That will be an extra year or two.
EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 10 months ago
The system doesn’t even need to get better at backgrounds, you just generate more images until one looks good.
oce@jlai.lu 10 months ago
I think so. I don’t think there would be more than a few dozens of verification to do every day, with a dozen of mods, it seems doable. It’s not like millions of users are asking for verification every day.
