GenAI creates faces from unrelated images, user reports

A user on Mastodon described witnessing generative artificial intelligence create images of faces by subtly embedding them within unrelated scenes. This technique involves constructing a person's likeness almost invisibly from the components of a different image, such as a courtyard scene that resolves into a woman's face. The user noted this capability is impressive and suggested it could be prompted to make unrelated programs secretly collaborate to achieve such a dual-purpose outcome. AI

    @ jcoglan I have seen GenAI of peoples faces constructed almost invisibly out of the unrelated parts of an apparent "other" image. A courtyard in sunlight with flower boxes and vines, that suddenly reveals its a picture of a woman's face. Very impressive, but I think _Instead of …
