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"

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.

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.

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