Vorbach's experiment demonstrates the potential of AI in mimicking real life, but it also highlights the significant time investment required to achieve such results. The evolution of AI-generated imagery raises numerous legal and ethical questions, especially considering the recent advancements in creating realistic images of people and mimicking their lives.
Key takeaways:
- Kyle Vorbach, a self-described writer and director, used the Stable Diffusion AI image generator to create realistic photos and faked a whole month of his life.
- He discovered that the AI gave better results when told to use a celebrity that looked like the person being made, in his case, Ryan Gosling.
- Vorbach was able to create an entirely fake existence online that was believable, but noticed that his AI-generated photos were less engaging than reality.
- The experiment shows that while it's possible to train AI to mimic real life, it takes as much time as actually living that life, raising questions about the future evolution of AI-generated imagery.
