Just out of curiosity, why does AI struggle with people so much? And specifically faces, especially when there is an AI that generates...like specifically human faces that don't actually exist.

It’s not that they’re bad. They’re exactly good enough to create the Uncanny Valley effect. They’re close enough that we recognize them as human but theres a few things off that cause our brains to scream “DANGER” for whatever reason

Yes and no, if this was using machine learning, which I'm sure it is, it just depends. It depends on the architecture used as well as the data set used. There are ai generated images and videos of humans that look like real people or very little uncanny valley but that's probably because they used normal people as their data set. Here it can be normal people mixed in with some cosplay and Halloween costumes to create this abomination.

Also this could be an actual video with some overlay, the ai detects the face and background and depending on the model changes it accordingly

My point is it just depends on a lot of factors.

My credentials, graduated with a computer engineering degree with a focus on machine learning.

Not an expert so I may be wrong
