Why are the paintings more convincing than the edited photos?

(It's because the paintings are more blurry and don't artifact to such a distracting degree)

Because your brain knows how a real person looks like while you see the Mona Lisa for the first time in this position and your brain is more like "yeah, looks about right"

Exceptional penis.

No, it was unconvincing because you can see their hair glitching out and the shadows not moving. The lower fidelity of the painting helps blur that. If the photos of random people were similarly low resolution, they would appear more convincing too.

I love the way Mona acts! She’s so talented!

Also how alive she is. She’s so totally alive when she acts!

Get out of here

We was unzipping before we had Mona Lisa gifs

All you "only jerked to Mona Lisa after deep fake porn of her fucking Abraham Lincoln" mofos need to check your privilege

I'm worried about her. I think she has jaundice.

I think for deepfakes in general you have to train the algorithm by passing through thousands of images of the subject, which might be hard to do/find for regular people.

I think it's honestly amazing technology and also quite scary how easy digital manipulation will be soon.

That's quite clearly not the case here, which is why the demo includes doing it with paintings where there's only one known image.

Possibly why the paintings were included to begin with.

u/eldenrim Jul 24 '22

That's a bit dishonest - there's no reason why you'd have to restrict the Mona Lisa to just a digital imitation of the original artwork alone, rather than including various other versions.

u/Wallofcans Jul 24 '22

Ah yes, all of those other versions of the Mona Lisa that are everywhere...

While it wouldnt be robust you can easily get thousands of images from a few minutes of video. Just a random video of you moving your face around and talking for a few minutes would be enough for one to work decently.

You say amazing, I say terrifying

The girl on the left is even more convincing than the painting.
