Here come the “metahumans”: Virtual avatars have real jobs in Indonesia

This looks inadequate and awful. But this is just the beginning.

Immense improvements will be done in the coming years.

There are already paid AI Instagram influencers/models existing right now.

I am still skeptical whether the gap will ever be bridged, i.e. creation of digital avatars that are indistinguishable in the viewers' eyes.

What's nice with all the filters people use is that human are meeting them half way.

Much harder to distinguish a fake person from a real person using a filter to look fake.

Here’s an example video of the anchors:

Reminds me of those X by Balenciaga [0] deep fakes, specially the head movement.

looks like it might be a similar technique, the rest of their body doesn't move at all only the head.

I love these so much.

Is there an open source models or GitHub repo or anything that does something like this?

Could be based on MetaHuman (Epic Games) as it is well integrated with Unreal Engine which is already in use for television production.
