Look at the linked arxiv pdf as it has more examples showing transfer of coarse, mid, and fine features. It's also applied to cars using a different dataset and it produces results that look more natural than many actual custom mods. It also produces some distorted vehicles. We are used to greater asymmetry in faces than we are in cars.
I'm glad the cat examples are low resolution. That seemingly randomized deformity is disturbing.
Could they be used as actors in movies?, imagine a world where a whole movie from the scripting to the acting was done by an AI all in a few hours.
I would really like to see each of the generated faces next to the 3-4 closest neighbors in the training set. I have a feeling that their claim would be seriusly diluted by such a comparison. Likely the end result is extremely close to the inputs.
AI learned how to Photoshop. Can't trust photographic evidence anymore plus celebrity porn can be faked as
well.
