A short YouTube monologue by Mark Wickersham about current capabilities and limits of AI image generators to recreate a person's face. He observes that some faces are replicated more faithfully than others, that outputs are similar but imperfect and likely to improve, and suggests practical uses (e.g., generating YouTube thumbnails) while personally preferring professional photos.
One of the things that we can do is you could upload an image of yourself and ask it to recreate the image, but with you, with a different background, for example, or you wearing a hat. Now, it's not perfect. When it then does the image, it won't look exactly like you. What I found is that some people seem to have a face that AI can replicate better than others. In my particular case, whenever I upload an image and ask it to do something, it doesn't really look like me. It's similar, but that's going to get better over time. And there are other people I've seen do this where I thought, wow, that really does look like them. So that's something you may want to experiment with. For example, a practical use case might be if you want to create YouTube thumbnails and you want your image to be in the thumbnail, then you could use the tool for that. Personally, I would rather get a professional cameraman in, take some photos of me and using those as thumbnails. But you could use AI. I've tried it and it can be quite cool.
