I'm genuinely sceptical. How do they ensure the same looking person is generated each time? From any perspective? You can create fake images of a specific person precisely because you have a dataset of ground truth images.
If it is true... Then yeah. Modelling is now a dead job. And weirdly we're back to pre-photo advertising when everything was just drawn.
Awesome informative reply. I've long wondered about how some creators get the same "face" in some insta accounts.
That might be because they all go to the same plastic surgeon though.
With the same requests.
True, although I should have specified that I was talking about the computer generated models.
I'm guessing they just generate a bunch of pictures, pick the closest and fix the rest in photoshop.
Not like real models aren't already often photoshopped to (near) unrecognizability.
I'm pretty sure that audience doesn't care if it's a little off ..
Seed numbers bruh
It still doesn't generate the same looking person every time it's just the same kind of style.
You definitely can. Ie, generate 100 pictures and pick the ones that are very similar. Use those to train the concept of "ai lady XYZ" and then generate more and train more.
Keep repeating until the concept "ai lady xyz" is unique and self-consistent.
Mmm.... recursive AI models, nearly as tasty as the recursiveness of the filling of a KitKat.
