Can you please hold a few fingers in front of your face?

No?

Bye.

@stux Perhaps a stupid question, but why is it hard for an AI generated "person" to do that?

(And if this now gets widespread, will they quickly learn to do it and then you have to start asking them to do something else...?)

@tml @stux Because it's taking a live video and superimposing a different face. If the face becomes obscured, it becomes difficult for the "AI" to do so. Partially obscuring the face with anything would cause the same difficulty.
@me @stux @tml He’s trying to always look directly at the camera, barely any movement apart from the „head bobble“, but if you look at the guy‘s forehead you can see that these slight movements make a strain of hair grow and disappear. The headphones obscure the ears which would probably look eerie. In a live video call that‘s hard to spot, but the hand in front of the face would make that guy look like something from a horror movie.

@tml @stux Because AI suck at human poses.

Human gestures often involve nuanced hand movements, and the models aren't necessarily that well trained.

(or they have too many fingers)

@tml @stux it is hard to do. Deep fakes work with certain conditions and only. Also there were very tell tell signs on first glance as well.
It works when you have limited interaction scammer has predicted.
