Ooooh an actually interesting use of ai: preserving anonymity

This is making me think of A Scanner Darkly. Check out the movie if you haven’t .

I've had an AI generated mix between my face and an actors as my Facebook profile pic for a little over a year now I think, or close to it, and only my sister has called me out on it.

Bro there are people who post entire timelines of themselves in completely anime ai generated imagery

And they are livinf better than i

I'm in the same boat. I basically want to wear an ai mask. I don't like cartoon face trackers or similar. I don't have the hardware to render a video though, and I'm not going to buy server time.

People use some Snapchat filters like this, like the anime face one I see a lot.

Smart! Just today I took a very funny photo, but don't want to break the anonymity of anyone in there.

Google automatic1111, it's the program to run if you want to generate AI images. You can put in the original photo, use the built in editor and request the face of a pretty man/woman/elephant (for all I care) and it'll generate a face and merge it with the surrounding image perfectly.

Requires a graphics card with a few gigabytes of vram though, so there is a certain hardware requirement if you want to do this locally.

I really like “Bitmoji” on my iPhone as an interesting start in that direction. I can create my avatar, whether as similar to me or not, and use it as a filter on FaceTime where it follows a lot of my actual movement and expressions
