I used to think AI avatars are cool and look so real. Then, as a perfectionist and the advocate for openness I started to think: It's not real - so it's not good. Why should we vote for fakeness? I don't like the direction we are heading with generative AI. I understand the things that helps us do our jobs faster, like erasers, fine tuners. But faces? Nope.

Google Pixel's AI feature that lets you switch the faces, looks quite natural. A description from the article: "Perhaps the most wild use of AI in the video, though, is a Google Photos feature on Pixel 8 where the app will literally be able to change people’s faces in a shot to create the shot you want – the Michael Scott treatment, if you will. There’s no explanation on how this works, but it seems like it uses multiple, similar shots to create one final product."
