AI can now animate the Mona Lisa's face or any other portrait you give it. We're not sure we're happy with this reality

Re: Scary stuff

It seems to me that they've just used x-rays to see what's inside Pandora's Box - they haven't quite cracked it open just yet; though it won't be long.

If you watch the video, take note of the background in all the examples - including the Mona Lisa. The animation of the face, where head movement is added, causes the background to be messed up, and the more there is on the head that needs to blend with the background (Einstein's messy hair*, beardy bloke's beard), the more obvious the fakery.

This will improve, of course - but for now, just avoid having your picture taken against a flat background, and for added security make sure your hair is a mess. (Burns passport, throws away all combs...)

* In that instance it's worse, the system didn't appear to work out where the hair really ended, so some of it was the background.
