The AI faces... wow.

I'd love to see a source on that one, it's hard to believe otherwise.

edit: I reverse image searched one of the faces and found this, https://bgr.com/2018/12/18/nvidia-ai-fake-faces-look-100-per...

It's not generating them from whole cloth, but it's still very impressive.

What would "from whole cloth" even mean for this?

Honestly, I'm not even sure. After watching the nvidia youtube video, I retract the statement. This is pretty amazing.

And it's basically just the beginning too.

Deepmind has also been creating landscapes, portraits and animals (the tennis ball, the horror of the tennis ball!!!) https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/02/deepmind-ai-can-generate-...

I'm skeptical.

I want to know more about how they're formed. Did the AI basically generate them from scratch, or did it stitch existing images together.

Assuming they are sufficiently different from the source images, is it enough to effectively anonymize someone in a picture?
