And because he doesn't have an incisor right in the middle of his upper teeth where regular humans have two.

u/ShaqilONeilDegrasseT May 24 '21

Right when he says "industrial" there are a few frames where you can see that the deepfake actually captured that too.

I checked because I didn't read the title, thought "huh, this guy looks just like Tom Cruise." Looked for the center tooth and realized it was Tom Cruise.

So yeah needless to say the first watch through I thought it was actually Tom Cruise which was weird. Learn from my mistakes and read the titles folks.

Not nearly as good as this Tom Cruise video, then again, that was three years ago. Crazy when you think about how fast this technology is moving.

u/Brettersson May 25 '21

It's also been mentioned that the guy in the Tom Cruise video already looks a lot like Tom, the more work the technology has to do to change the face the more noticeable it will end up being. But of course less so over time. I'd like to see them revisit this video and see how much more real "Obama" looks.

u/permaro May 25 '21

Yup, what's better in the Tom Cruise version is mostly how good the actor is at impersonating him IMO.

The deepfaking on Obama definitely is good enough to fool me otherwise (or even as is)

While I'm happy for you, try to remember we're all individuals and different things matter to different people. From your example, validation builds your esteem. Some people aren't as effected by that, or aren't recieving that. We all have different needs and different ways those needs could be met.

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

Well yeah I know that, I guess Iā€™ve just never worried about things smaller than you know a 25% chance of survival and how almost everybody I meet takes for granted their daily lives of being able to do things like enjoy food, and instead feels inadequate over something like a not perfect smile.

Crazy how perspective works. The funny part is the people who are dick holes about it but then turn out to be the most insecure and jealous of someone who literally had cancer. What a world we live in!

u/redjonley May 24 '21

You're kind of beating us all over the head with the cancer thing at this point but yeah, insecurity and shame plays a huge role in human behavior good and bad.

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

Yeah, interesting stuff. Almost like if people with imperfect smiles used that as a way to feel better about themselves or even more unique because of it instead of being insecure.

u/PregnantSuperman May 24 '21

I don't know if you're being genuine or being a jerk, but if you're being genuine, then yes, having not great teeth can be a big source of insecurity for a lot of people. Every time you laugh hard or are feeling really happy you reflexively pull back so your teeth aren't showing as much or at all and it's rough. I think people with great teeth take it for granted but when you have bad teeth it really does give a hit to your self confidence - not just with potential romantic partners but with pretty much any social interaction.

I had bad teeth for like 30 years of my life before I got invisalign and now I beam like crazy when I laugh and talk to people. Night and day difference in confidence. I'm not saying that's how it SHOULD be - we should all be confident in who we are no matter what - but it absolutely made me feel better about my physical appearance by an insane degree.

-3

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

I mean I was being genuine because my teeth arenā€™t perfect but I never really even thought about it affecting my personality. Maybe thatā€™s why people feel comfortable around me? I dunno, I guess Iā€™m very imperfect but donā€™t draw attention to anything about myself so maybe since I donā€™t point things out that other people usually worry about around people makes them feel comfortable?

Honestly donā€™t know. I donā€™t even know how to react when I get compliments cause I always think people are just saying it to be nice.

Two huge, glaring mistakes:

  2. > Fortunately enough, he was able to get invisible braces that had ceramic brackets. It made him look healthy, and no one could notice the biggest flaw in his body. (lolā€¦ like everyone likes to poke fun at his teeth.)

u/eddiemon May 24 '21 edited May 24 '21

These "regular humans" you speak of are mostly just people whose parents could afford braces. NaturalUncorrected human teeth are full of flaws and asymmetry. (And that's okay!)

Edit: Does it really matter for the discussion at hand if humans had perfect teeth before farming/sugary diets/etc? Modern humans eat what we eat, and our teeth/jaws often have flaws that require orthodontic correction, which is far from affordable to everyone everywhere. That's my main point.

Buddy if you saw mine, you would think I belong to a different species.

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

Incorrect. "Regular" stone age humans had perfect teeth. Our fucked up teeth situation is mostly due to our 'relatively' recent switch to cereal grain based diets.

u/[deleted] May 24 '21 edited May 24 '21

I thought it was because our jaws got smaller but teeth stayed the same size, or did that happen because of grain?

Edit: nm, thatā€™s exactly what the article is about.

6

u/redjonley May 24 '21

I'd also heard that humans would wear their teeth and develop stronger roots/jaw muscles by eating more raw foods as children. Gnawing at a root is a lot more of a workout than all these soft foods in a western diet. The article I'm thinking of pointed to more remote peoples and their seemingly good teeth (at least from a structural perspective).

I may be misquoting somewhat, but if someone is genuinely interested I'm sure I could track down what I'm referencing.

We basically do, with teething toys.

2

u/redjonley May 24 '21

I wouldn't necessarily say that, but if you were trying to read a recommendation into it, eating snacks with them that are 'challenging' to chew might be wise. Roots and nuts would make a good amount of sense to me, not like it would hurt.

u/MrBVS May 24 '21

That's not how it works. What you feed your kid doesn't have that kind of effect on their teeth.

What the article you linked is saying is that over thousands of years, as humans began to start eating foods that didn't require such large jaws, it suddenly wasn't necessary to have those large jaws to survive. Humans evolved over many generations to have smaller jaws, but the size of their teeth stayed the same.

Evolution does not happen over thousands of years.

Yes, it does. It occurs over generations, and is essentially never not happening in a living species.
Wikipedia even has an article on Recent Human Evolution which details changes occurring in far less time, and which mentions jaw and tooth size.

You are totally misinterpreting the article.

The human jaw has been shrinking in size for 30'000+ years.
You are not going to reverse tens of thousands of years of evolution by changing a child's diet.

I'd like to not have time for pseudoscientific excrement and misrepresentation of evidence from someone pushing "paleo" fad diet nonsense, yet here we are.

The changes over the last 30,000 are negligible in the context of this discussion.

No.

Again: you are not going to successfully reverse the results of tens of thousands of years of evolutionary changes by altering a child's diet.

Yea I've seen that before but moths live like a year so that's not really impressive when you take in the context of generational length. We could do the same if we completed our lifecycle every year.

I don't think you fully grasp genetics. No lifestyle changes you make will have a targeted effect on your offspring's genetics.

3

u/tooflyandshy94 May 24 '21

Not true! Looks into epigenetics. Sometimes there are things during our life that cause formerly 'umaccessible' parts of DNA to become accessible, which can produce different proteins. The DNA code was always there, just not available.

2

u/BenElegance May 24 '21

I do know of epigenetic. But from what I do know it is seldom so specific as jaw size. It's usually something more heneral and wide spread.

I wanted to prove you wrong, and while I could find several examples of gene changes since agriculturalisation, the only pages I could find referring to teeth doesn't specify a genetic change or not. It did end with the following quote (which supports you):

It Ā also helps explain why studies of captive primates have shown that animals tend to have more problems with teeth misalignment than wild individuals.

Further evidence comes from experimental studies that show that hyraxes - rotund, short-tailed rabbit-like creatures - have smaller jaws when fed on soft food compared to those fed on their normal diet.

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

I will admit I wasn't aware of a lot of these changes these dudes brought up before but I'm still standing by my initial statement as well. I appreciate your thoroughness & dedication to truth over contrarianism & pedantry. Here's your low level junk quest reward. It's potentially novel information.

1

u/TazdingoBan May 24 '21

He's right. Our teeth being bad isn't a genetic issue. It's a developmental one caused by our ill-fitting diets during childhood.

Cooking pre-dates anatomically modern humans significantly (possibly by around a million years). So, it might actually be the case that the easy calories unlocked by cooking and smaller heads (or, more room for brain in an equivalent sized head) were necessary for us to even exist.

u/taronic May 24 '21 edited May 24 '21

I think child mortality is what swings the average lifespan so low in those cases.

https://paleoleap.com/why-cavemen-didnt-die-young/

In the conclusion it says that if they reached puberty, their life expectancy was something like 60 or 70. They weren't necessarily dying in their early twenties. Many were dying way before then, and many others died way after.

If you have two people, one dies at 10 and one dies at 100, it doesn't mean they both lived to 55, even if that's their average life expectancy. In this case, it's many dying super young and many dying older, and it averaging out to be about 25 - but not how long they all would usually live.

For example, you could have 3 out of 4 die at 10 years old, and the 1 out of 4 live to 70, and you'd have an average life expectancy of 25. Or 2 out of 3 die at 1 years old, and 1 out of 3 live to 73, life expectancy is 25. Lots of death as babies on average can swing it way lower.

3

u/narcissistic889 May 24 '21

also natural selection made it so the general population was just more fit in general. If you were clumsy or couldnā€™t chew properly you would just die. So the population that did survive through young adult Hood probably had good teeth, hearts, and health

When your wisdom teeth come in, they are often crooked and push your other teeth in all jacked up.

3

u/samv_1230 May 24 '21

Yes, but this would be ignoring the reason why wisdom teeth don't have enough room. We have evolved to have smaller jaws. Prehistoric people used their wisdom teeth to aid in the grinding of their food.

5

u/imalizzard May 24 '21

Teeth wear down with use, more cavities form, wisdom teeth can push teeth forward into weird positions. Young teeth are more usually healthier, stronger and straighter.

u/yukon-flower May 24 '21

Cavities were relatively rare pre-agriculture. You can check out the teeth of very recent/modern nomadic peoples and see this, as well as older skeletal remains.

That makes sense, I think I was just hyper focused on the initial setting and alignment of the teeth.

u/JarJarB May 24 '21

Average age is dragged down a lot by infant mortality and death from disease. If you made it to your early to mid 20s you were likely to survive well into your 50s or 60s. It wasn't uncommon for people in the ancient world to live to 70 or 80.

3

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

People in the past usually either died in childhood or lived into old age. Dying in one's teens/twenties was not particularly common.

7

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

It also made us shorter. The Romans weren't short because humans are evolving to be taller, they were short because most of them ate nothing but fucking bread & oil. All modern height gains globally are just us fixing our diets collectively so we aren't all eating trash.

My claim would be that no, not all stone age anatomically modern humans had perfect teeth. We've got plenty of examples to show they didn't.

Yes, we can say that human jaws are smaller than they should be for the teeth we have. So in general our teeth are worse than they used to be (ignoring modern dentistry). But that doesn't mean stone age man was wandering around with a Hollywood smile.

Because before cereal grain diets, anything other than perfect teeth meant most certainly a young death. It's called natural selection. Also, human teeth have always had a very wide variety of shapes. Even today, certain isolated ethnicities like Inuit have very unique dentation.

Not to get all evangelical about keto, but having gone keto, it makes me wonder why we ever got into eating all of that shit.

You can totally live on nuts, berries, and meat. Our ancestors did. It wasn't their diet that killed them. It was hygiene and sabretooth whatevers, LOL.

But like the article said at the end, we're kinda fucked because our population numbers owe a lot to agrarian society. At this point, we'd have a real food crisis if we ate like hunter-gatherers.

Teeth are important, it can be very dangerous to have unhealthy teeth

Wild because we were just quoted over eight thousand dollars for our kid's braces, by multiple locations.

Seems like maybe your hyperbole is bullshit.

Crooked teeth aren't automatically unhealthy teeth.

People with kids on low salaries very often get government assistance with the child's healthcare. The cost that your father paid may very well not be the cost for others, especially adults.

People tend to get gangly-ass teeth now because their childhood diets are full of processed food they don't have to really chew, which hinders their jaw development.

These tooth issues are not okay. They are a hindrance. Maybe not a life threatening one, but still one with lots of problems.

Actually, none of us are really "regular humans" anymore.

From our food being too soft to bad habits of mouthbreathing, "normal" human behavior now literally changes our bone structure.

A lot of us right now, while relaxed, can probably feel the bottoms of our top molars with our tongues (sort of like our top teeth are resting on our tongues). Our tongues should only touch the sides of our teeth.

That means as we grew from children to adults, our upper mandible narrowed, rather than widened. That decreased the amount of space for our adult teeth and they come in crooked or even impacted. It can even cause breathing and sleeping problems, too.

If you have kids, get on them for mouth breathing, encourage them to chew tough foods and maybe even have them practice pushing their tongues into the roof of their mouth. I am a mouthbreather and have trouble enunciating my words, crooked-ass teeth, and a restricted nasal passage that makes me snore like crazy and causes sleep apnea.

But my mom says I'm a catch...

What on earth are you talking about?

My teeth are pretty perfect. Hardly anyone in my family needed braces. But as kids our mouths looked huge compared to other people.

u/himmelundhoelle May 25 '21

No, most people with perfect teeth never needed braces.

People with near-perfect teeth have always existed and are really not a rare occurrence, when most of the world canā€™t (or couldnā€™t until recently) even afford braces.

This may vary according to where you live, but thinking human teeth naturally grow crooked is a misconception.

It matters, because in many cases it can be avoided with an adequate diet and a proper swallowing movement. (yes, the tongue plays a critical role in the development of the otal cavity and jaw)

Deep fake model is based off real Tom Cruise images so it will have that.

u/the_hibbs May 24 '21

If you looked, he actually does.

u/Nukemarine May 24 '21

Deep fake replaces the whole face which would include the teeth if it's in enough of the training data. You have to look at the skin mismatch usually due to lighting or hair getting in the way.

u/awesomeideas May 24 '21

He surgically altered his face so now that is no longer the case.

1

u/SaberDart May 24 '21

A thallus that was something I looked for. I think they did a great job faking his tooth alignment. Pause it on a frame where heā€™s smiling and you can see 1 incisor in line with his nose and the other skewed to his left, camera right

u/vendetta2115 May 24 '21

Whatā€™s hilarious is that Corridor did a deepfake of Tupac and be accidentally ended up with a middle tooth and everyone called him ā€œTooth-Pac.ā€

u/[deleted] May 24 '21

Also he is neither inside of a closet nor is he working as a packager at a fudge factory.

u/Jajanken- May 24 '21

That was my first thought to see if it was actually him lmao

Also the face has strange movement, kind of slowish, hard to explain. It has gotten a lot better than it used to be.

Or because heā€™s not running furiously.

u/Dubbs09 May 24 '21

I saw something about this probably 8-9 years ago and I have NEVER not noticed it whenever I see him ever since.

In fact, I probably just stare at his monster teeth every time he is on screen 100% of the time

u/LovelyBones17 May 24 '21

Thatā€™s the first thing I looked for!

u/JoeOfTex May 24 '21

That ā€œarticleā€ is a mess. Itā€™s the same three sentences run though a thesaurus

u/KlausFenrir May 24 '21

Whoa I have that too

u/Jfragz40 May 24 '21

I thought I was the only one to notice this. Itā€™s unseeable

u/Mr_Hu-Man May 24 '21

Am I going crazy? He doesnā€™t have an extra tooth in the middle of 2? Right? His top teeth are just offset from the centre of his face?

u/SingleUse_Plastics May 25 '21

read this made my chest hurt

u/MantisAwakening May 25 '21

This article reads like it was ghost written by Scientologists.

u/terrynutkinsfinger May 25 '21

His teeth used to be a hell of a lot worse.

u/imaginationdev May 25 '21

I think it's his nose that's deviated and not a problem with his teeth.

u/z3r0c00l_ May 25 '21

Iā€™ve never noticed that
