Believe it or not, all these faces are fake. They have been synthesized by Nvidia’s new AI algorithm, a generative adversarial network capable of automagically creating humans, cats, and even cars.
The technology works so well that we can expect synthetic image search engines soon — just like Google’s, but generating new fake images on the fly that look real. Yes, you know where that is going — and sure, it can be a lot of fun, but also scary. Check out the video. It truly defies belief:
According to Nvidia, its GAN is built around a concept called “style transfer.” Rather than trying to copy and paste elements of different faces into a frankenperson, the system analyzes three basic styles — coarse, middle, and fine styles — and merges them transparently into something completely new.
Coarse styles include parameters such as pose, the face’s shape, or the hair style. Middle styles include facial features, like the shape of the nose, cheeks, or mouth. Finally, fine styles affect the color of the face’s features like skin and hair.
stories like these are preparatory for political reasons, when shit on Weiner's laptop gets exposed you can be sure they'll be used as references to say the video evidence was faked. Good news is the videos on his laptop are older than the technology so thankfully there's no way to go back in time to change that fact

Looks like someone didn't read the title closely. It said AI generates humans, user.

AI race war when?

They can stage so much shit with this, whether it'd be on a small scale or a terrortist attack, the technology at hand is ridiculous and insane, everything is fucked, our only hope is chaos.
