Thanks Elisabetta! yes of course, this is made using a model called styleGAN. Here's a link to explain how it works: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2021/05/stylegan-explained-in-less-than-five-minutes/ It benefits from having similar footage (subject facing the same direction, locked off camera, etc) it then trains on the images and tries to rebuild them to a realistic level. The surprises and mistakes are the best part for me, like where my face turns into a bunch of grapes and so on. Other models I played around with were 'VQGAN' and 'diffusion models'. This all sounds like a headache... because it is! I am working with Arash Akbari (https://www.arashakbari.com/) who is proficient in custom AI. I'm fascinated by the way this open source technology is growing exponentially and I'm learning a lot, fast! :)
