AI Creates Fake Faces On Websites
A software developer created a new website that makes faces from scratch. The website is powered by Nvidia’s new AI technology. The AI can create increasingly more realistic faces out of nothing. However, some of the new faces are glaringly artificial. People have also taken to social media to post the new faces.
When users open the website, all they see is a picture. Reverse image searching the photo gets no results, as the AI stitches the face together in a visually pleasing way from various different photos. Refreshing the page gets a new photo.
